Learning how to make a smoothie for you and your family is a very
powerful way to change your life for the better.
It is a small change that has a huge impact!
Here are the benefits of making a smoothie everyday:
1.
Lowers Cholesterol. My smoothie recipe is packed with green veggie, fruit, nuts, and seeds which are known to lower LDL (bad cholesterol), triglycerides, and total cholesterol.
2.
Nutrient Powerhouse. Rich in vitamins, minerals, fiber, omega 3s, and antioxidants. Most people find it difficult to sit down and eat the recommended amount of fruit, vegetables, and fiber. Smoothies make it much easier to accomplish this goal.
3.
Weight Loss. High protein and fiber ingredients keep you full longer, while keeping the caloric intake low. At the end of the day, the most effective way to lose weight is counting calories (calorie deficit).
4.
Gut health / Improve Digestion. Fiber is an important nutrient that helps to keep the bowel movement regular, and support the growth of good bacteria in your gut. The blending process makes nutrients easier to absorb. Most Americans do not get enough fiber in their diet.
5.
Boosts Brain Power. Experiencing brain fog? Replace high carbohydrate breakfast with a nutrition packed smoothie. Antioxidant, omega 3, and amino acids in smoothies help to keep your mind sharp and focused throughout the day.
6.
Enhances Immunity. Smoothies are high in essential nutrients such as Vitamin A and C, which are natural immunity boosters to help you fight off colds and flu.
