#VALUE!
For those who love baked goods, sweets, salty snacks, basically everything that's not nutritious—this news might not change much. They will likely continue with their unhealthy, if not dangerous, lifestyle. However, for those interested in improving their quality of life, there's something they can do.
The tip we'd like to highlight this time is the green smoothie. This smoothie is made from all sorts of green vegetables with the addition of one seasonal fruit of your choice. Drinking just one cup of green smoothie a day supplies the body with a significant amount of vitamins, minerals, fibers, and antioxidants essential for maintaining our health. Its low-calorie content gives it high nutritional value, and thanks to its dietary fibers, it promotes regular bowel movements, which is reflected in a feeling of 'order' in the digestive system.
So what do you put in your health smoothie cup? First, greens. Any greens you're familiar with are suitable—cilantro, parsley, chives, arugula, Swiss chard, dill, spinach, lettuce, baby greens, mint, basil, celery, and more.
Sound good? There's more: you can add one fruit of your choice to your smoothie cup, such as a date, banana, melon, peach, and more. Also, if you're trying to lose weight, it's important to know that fruits are high in sugar, so it’s preferable to add no more than two fruits to your health smoothie cup. After all, the goal is to improve health, right?
Additionally, to your healthy and juicy blend, you can even add a teaspoon of tahini, almond butter, or any other quality fat you have in mind. It's important to note that quality fat aids in the digestive process, making its consumption in the smoothie both tasty and essential.
