Why Smoothies?
Most people know that they would be far better off health wise if they consumed more fruits and vegetables. The health benefits of consuming more veggies and fruits are well known by most people including, I suspect, you. If this is the case then, why dont more people do it? Why dont you? There are a few reasons. One problem is that in todays fast paced world most people just dont have the time. It takes time, for example, to prepare and eat a salad. Another issue is that, especially in the case of vegetables, a lot of people just dont like the taste or texture. Without mom close by saying thing like Eat your veggies or no dessert! a lot of us simply wont and our health and well being suffer for it.
This is where smoothies come in. A properly made smoothie can easily fulfill your bodies needs for fruits and vegetables while tickling your taste buds at the same time. What are some of the benefits of consuming a healthy smoothie? Let me count the ways:
Aid Digestion As smoothies are basically solid food that has been broken down it makes them incredibly easy for your stomach to digest. In addition, many of the ingredients found in smoothies help the digestive process as well.
Helps You Lose Weight Consuming a healthy smoothie will often satisfy those junk food cravings which are the bane of anyone who has ever tried to lose weight. As well, many fruits and vegetables are Thermogenic, which means they contain fewer calories than what is needed to process them. This can also help in weight maintenance and weight loss.
Lower Blood Pressure The Chlorophyll, vitamins and minerals found in fruits and vegetables can help maintain a healthy blood pressure.
Prevents Energy Loss, Mood Swings and Weight Gain Smoothies, as opposed to juices, retain the fiber of the plant. Your stomach is therefore forced to take its time to break down the fiber to digest it. This results in the sugar from the plant being slowly released into your blood stream. A rapid rise in blood sugar is often associated with the aforementioned conditions.
Keeps Your Body Hydrated Fruits and vegetables typically possess a water content of over 80 and even 90 percent. A well-hydrated body is key to keeping your systems running well and preventing hunger pains (your body often transmits hunger signals to your brain when you are in fact thirsty).
Boosts Your Immune System And Prevents Disease The phytonutrients and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables have been shown to help prevent a host of diseases, including heart disease.
Radiant, Glowing Skin Smoothies aid in the removal of toxins from your body as opposed to having them seep through the skin. This lends itself to vibrant looking skin and a general healthy glow.
Kick The Coffee Habit Replacing your morning cup of joe with a healthy smoothie can be a great way to cut down on your caffeine consumption. This can lead to a reduction in your nervousness, anxiety and stress (just some of the negative side effects of caffeine consumption).
Smoothie Hacks
I think that you now have some appreciation for the immense benefits that can be accrued by adding healthy smoothies to your diet. Before we get to the actual smoothie recipes, however, I want to go over some common Smoothie Hacks that you can use to alter the recipes you are about to experience. By hacks I mean simply substituting an ingredient from a recipe with the following. My advice to you is to be adventurous and dont be afraid to experiment. You know your tastes and what you are after better than anyone else. If you feel the need to kick it up a notch try adding or substituting some of the following ingredients into your favorite smoothie recipes.
The Liquid
This is the most important part of a smoothie as it is what essentially holds it together. You can mix and match the following liquid options as desired.
Dairy Milk This flavor neutral liquid is filled with calcium and provides any smoothie with a nice texture.
Yogurt On the positive side yogurt is filled with calcium and probiotics (helpful and healthy bacteria). On the negative side it can be sour which can adversely affect your smoothies taste.
