WATCH: The Unique Benefits of Smoothies & Making Data Informed Decisions About Your Health

Smoothies offer a myriad of benefits for your health and well-being. They are simply- an easy and fun way to consume a wide range of essential nutrients. Packed with fruits, vegetables, and even superfoods, they provide a concentrated dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that are beneficial for your body.

You can certainly get creative with countless ingredient combinations. Adapt them to your dietary preferences, and even customize them to address specific health concerns or goals. Choose fiber rich foods- like kale and chia seeds to promote healthy digestion, help with constipation, and support your gut health.  The possibilities are truly endless. Choose ingredients, such as berries, citrus fruits, and leafy greens, that are loaded with immune-boosting antioxidants and vitamins. Regularly drinking smoothies can enhance your body’s natural defense mechanisms and help fend off common illnesses.

• You can make great savory smoothies which are essentially cold soups.
• Smoothies can be a great solution for those who have allergies and sensitivities because you choose every element that you add into it and can tailor it to your specific needs.
• Adding lemon or lime juice to your smoothies, helps to elevate and lift their flavors.
• Think about the flavor profiles in your favorite foods and translate this into your smoothie making.
• It’s important to test if you are sensitive to oxalates, you can do this by having a food high in them and watch for your responses.
