- Smoothies are a great go to morning pick me up where you can easily incorporate a good amount nutrients by blending fruit, vegetables, whole grains and seeds packed with protein, healthy fats, fiber, and complex carbs.
- Mix and match these great smoothie ingredients for your own great smoothie variation.
- Fresh Fruit: use any fruit of your choosing. Use creamy fruits to yield creamy smoothies. Think bananas, avocados, mangos, etc. You can also use fruit or vegetable puree, such as mashed sweet potato, pumpkin puree, or applesauce.
- Frozen Fruit: use any fruit of your choosing. Choose options without any added sugars.
- Leafy Greens: use spinach or kale. If you are unsure about the flavor of greens in your smoothies, start with spinach. Spinach has a milder flavor than heartier greens like kale. Do not use arugula or mustard greens.
- Oats: use old-fashioned or quick oats. Do not use steel cut oats, as these need to be cooked.
- Seeds: use chia, hemp, or ground flaxseeds.
- Nut Butter: use almond, peanut, walnut, sunflower, soy nut, or any other variety of your choosing. Choose natural varieties (just nuts and salt) for optimal nutrition.
