With a drink as easy as smoothie, you should really experiment with many different ingredients, preferably the seasonal fruits or vegetables to find out which combinations will entice you more. Creating your own smoothie which is tasty from healthy recipes will be exciting and gratifying.
Some things to avoid:
You should never add sugar or perhaps a lot of processed fruit juice.
Sugar is really the culprit in the case of living healthy and maintaining a slim figure. For instance, many fruits include lots of sugar they also include a large amount of dietary fiber which can deal with the bad effects of sugar. However, whenever you are juicing oranges a lot of the fiber and various vitamins will be left in the juicer whilst just leaving the sweet portion, this is particularly true when you purchase pasteurized juice without pulp.
Try not to use any form of dairy products.
This means no yogurt, milk and certainly no ice cream. These are not healthy ingredients to make a smoothie. Make use of reasonable amount of fresh fruit juice or even dairy alternatives such as almond milk, oat milk, hemp seed milk, coconut milk or soy. Take a careful look at labels, since a few of these products particularly soy milk might consist of fairly huge amounts of sugar.
What to include in your healthy smoothie:
Take advantage of seasonal products in your local area. Ensure that you are using natural products to minimize your consumption of chemicals which may have been employed as fertilizers. Most importantly, local seasonal items will taste much better.
Use frozen or fresh fruits because they are both effective. You could even freeze the fruits yourself in order to have ingredients for your smoothie when they are not in season, plus this will prevent you from buying the imported items.
Think local and experiment with many different fruits when making your smoothies. This way when you want a bit of sweetness you can add a few sweet fruit like bananas, pineapples or mangoes. Get your blender and start to enjoy tastier and healthier smoothies!
