Are you looking for a way to make a quick and healthy meal? Look no further than a smoothie. A smoothie is perfect to replace a meal, as a healthy snack or as a quick meal for on the go.
Green smoothies refer to blended beverages that contain leafy greens, veggies, healthy fats and fruits. Healthy fats include coconut, flax, hemp seeds and almonds. Examples of leafy greens are parsley, mint, Swiss or rainbow chard, kale and spinach. The ingredients actually may vary, depending on the individual’s preference.
There are two good reasons to make a healthy recipe smoothie: 1) They taste great; and 2) They are filled with lots of fruit that have health benefits for your body..
It’s summer time and the heat is on. But for people trying to lose weight and not miss out, are there any healthy options? Yes. You can make your own smoothies. You can always experiment to find tasty recipes as well, but here are some to get you started.
1. “Chocolate” Milk
-10-15 medium dates
-3 ripe bananas.
-1 Young Coconut (I don’t usually use the water inside of the nut although I heard it has some benefits, I have tested it on me to a not so good result but again we are all different)
-16 oz cold Water
Blend everything starting with the fruits then the coconut.
2. Papaya Passion
-1 medium Papaya
-1 red delicious apple
-5 dates (pitted)
Blend everything and prepare for something outta this world!
