Excellent Source of Nutrients
For The Health Challenged and As A Healthy Snack
A good way to boost energy or to start the day. Excellent source of nutrients, especially if you are health challenged and cannot manage solids.
Blending produce into a smoothie, preserves fibre—and a smoothie can deliver an extra boost of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals because it often includes fruit skins and pith.
Health Benefits
- Get your daily allowance of fruits and vegetables – Consuming the daily recommendations of fruits and vegetables can be a challenge. Blending a couple of servings of each into a smoothie helps ensure you meet your body’s daily nutritional needs.
- Quick and easy – Making your own nutrient dense smoothie doesn’t take as long as preparing most meals, giving you more time for others things. Taking a smoothie with you is an additional convenient option.
- Children like smoothies – Getting your children to eat healthy foods is not always easy. Fortunately, most children love the taste of a creamy smoothie naturally sweetened by fruit or a good sweetener like honey, or pure natural maple syrup. You can even hide veggies in the smoothies that they would never eat on their own.
- Improved digestion – Nobody wants to experience constipation or indigestion. Let your blender “chew” your food and ease the burden on your digestive system while you simultaneously consume plenty of dietary fiber to ensure excellent digestion.
- Detox – We’re exposed to and bombarded by thousands of man-made chemicals in today’s world, which leaves our body begging to detoxify. Give your digestive system a break while adding detoxifying ingredients like dandelion greens and kale into your smoothies to aid your body’s detoxification processes.
