Most of us don’t get the usual nutrients that we need on a daily basis because of our food choices but this doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything about it. Although making a switch to a healthier diet is highly recommended, we can always start with something simple such as making smoothies. Smoothies are one of the best ways for you to get important nutrients into your system without too much difficulty. All that you have to do is to put all the ingredients in your food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Strawberry Sunrise
If you want to make sure that you have plenty of energy throughout the day, you will need some serious nutrients inside of you. Fortunately, this smoothie recipe won’t require much of you and it is filled with important vitamins and minerals that can keep your energy levels high. You will need a cup of almond milk, a cup of strawberries, 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes, half a banana, and 2 tablespoons of goji berries. Put all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth.Â
Berry Oat Hazelnut
Oats are one of the best ways to start your day, but if you don’t have time to sit down for one, you can always take it on the go. This recipe calls for a cup of almond milk, a banana, ¼ cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of blueberries, and a tablespoon of hazelnuts. Place all these ingredients in a blender or food processor, blend, and pour into your glass. Add a tablespoon of cacao powder to your drink if you like and you’re ready to get energized.Â
Mint Chocolate Chip
Smoothies don’t have to be filled with vegetables and fruits all the time. However, chocolate and peanut butter aren’t healthy too. The good thing though is that you can actually satisfy your sweet tooth with cacao nibs to get that extra crunch to your drink. Make sure that you freeze your banana first before using in this recipe. You will need a cup of cashew milk, ½ cup of mint leaves, a cup of spinach, 1 banana milk, and 2 tablespoons of cacao nibs. You can put all the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. You can leave the cacao nibs out while you blend the ingredients then add them later for that extra crunch.Â
Tropical Mint Smoothie
A green smoothie may turn you off but this one is packed with nutrients that will keep you in tip top shape. What’s great about this recipe is that you will not turn green after drinking the contents so if you are up to it, you will need a cup of coconut water, ½ banana, ½ cup of mint, 1 cup of pineapple, and 2 kale leaves. Throw all the ingredients in a blender and process until smooth and that’s it.Â
These are just a few smoothie recipes that are worth trying out if you want to get your morning fix the healthy way.
