Smoothies – they’re all in your Instagram feed. Literally, everywhere you look, there is a delicious smoothie in a jar with your name on it. The question is, with the world shifting to an organic diet, how can you stay on par when it comes to fruit?
Today’s feature addresses the problem of your daily vitamin intake by presenting 5 of the best smoothies that not only complement the taste but can also be consumed at any time of the day.
Let’s start our series of delicious smoothies:
1. Chia Smoothies
When we think of breakfast, we think of grains, milk, cereal, bread, etc. However, chia seeds are impressive when it comes to all-around nutrition, especially when you mix them with yogurt, granola, and strawberries. Chia seeds may look very small, but they contain many nutrients including fiber, protein, Omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. The best way to consume chia seeds is to soak them overnight so they become soft like jelly. If you’ve had a long day at the gym or at the office, this smoothie will fill you with the right amount of nutrients so you can let go of junk food cravings and focus on your diet.
Recipe: Soak 5 tbsp. chia seeds overnight with oat milk. Fill into jars with yogurt, granola, and strawberries. Add blueberries to the mix and get ready to enjoy nutritional heaven.
2. Berry Smoothies
Want to detox every day? Our next smoothie is here to help you reach your fitness goals. Apart from helping healthy skin, blackberries are also a source of insoluble and soluble fiber. That means improved digestive health with every sip. Insoluble fiber also promotes better water absorption, so if you’re looking for a smoothie that will hydrate you for hours then you should try our blackberry smoothie with a hint of cinnamon.
Recipe: Dice the banana with blackberries in a blender. Mix ½ cup Greek yogurt and one cup milk. Blend until smooth. Serve in a jar and add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
3. Green Monster smoothies
Remember when your mother told you to eat vegetables? Well now you can drink it too. Kale may be the most nutrient-dense food on the planet. And the best part about kale – it has no fat. Spinach on the other hand is a source of fiber and is rich in flavonoids. Rich in vitamins C and A, spinach is also a good source of iron. Kale and spinach along with other greens like lemon and celery not only boost your metabolism but also aid muscle repair and prevent sluggishness – perfect after spending hours at the gym.
Recipe: Take a handful of kale, spinach, celery, parsley then blend them with a little coconut water. Pour into a glass and squeeze half a lemon for flavor.
4. Avocado smoothies
Avocados are the next blueberry – when it comes to trending superfoods. Eating fresh guacamole dip throughout the day isn’t enough to keep your nutritional values up to par, but a guacamole smoothie can definitely turn things around. Avocados are rich in fat content, so if you want to build more muscle mass, then avocado is your choice. Rich in potassium, avocado is best consumed by those who want to control their blood sugar levels. If blended, avocado usually forms a thicker paste and can be a delicious drink in the month of Ramadan, both for breaking the fast and at dawn because it will hydrate the body by absorbing water from various foods.
Recipe: Take one cup of frozen mango, pitted avocado, half a cup of Greek yoghurt, and a cup of almond milk. Put everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
5. Pomegranate Smoothie
Our final smoothie makes a great after-dinner drink. Made with pomegranate, this smoothie cleanses the palate and reduces the development of fatty deposits in the arteries. It is a great cholesterol and calorie buster that removes excess toxins from the body. Blood oranges are also a great source of fat breakdown, so if you’re looking for a quick detox at the end of the day, then the Paradise Pomegranate smoothie is a great choice.
Recipe: Take half a cup of pomegranate seeds, frozen banana and some blood orange. Blend this along with half a cup of water and almond milk. Blend until smooth and garnish with dark chocolate or pomegranate seeds.
Are Smoothies a Healthy Breakfast?
Smoothies can be a healthy breakfast choice if made with the right ingredients. A balanced smoothie containing fruits, vegetables, protein, fiber and healthy fats can provide a nutritious start to your day. Ingredients like avocado, berries, and green leafy vegetables like spinach can provide important vitamins and antioxidants, while adding a protein source like yogurt, chia seeds, or protein powder can keep you feeling full longer.
However, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients used. Choose natural sweeteners such as honey or fruit, and avoid added sugars or high-glycemic fruits which can increase blood sugar.
Smoothies can help increase energy levels, manage weight, and provide essential nutrients, making them a versatile and healthy breakfast choice
