A smoothie is a great way to get a good amount of fruits and vegetables and their vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytonutrients. The problem is, if we buy one for convenience in a store, there is likely to be some form of sugar added to add sweetness that appeals to our taste buds. Despite the fact that sugar comes in many forms, whether it's honey, agave syrup, or maple syrup, it's still sugar, adds unnecessary calories, and provides no nutritional value on its own. The answer to this is to make your own! Actually, it's easier than you think; just purchase a blender or blender like a NutriBullet and you're good to go! In general, you will need liquids to use as a base, so water, Then add a banana and berries for extra thickness, along with some chopped fruit (frozen works best; strawberries, cherries, and melon are our favorites). You can also try a handful of chopped kale if you're brave or spinach if you want something sweeter. Finally, a spoonful of nut butter or yogurt for added protein. Once you've blended everything together, you have a tasty and healthy breakfast on the go.
