All fruits and vegetables are ideal for smoothie recipes and juicing. In case you don’t know, smoothies are very like milkshakes in that they are served cold and have a thick consistency. The only difference is that the ingredients are healthy and nutritious.
Healthy smoothies can curb those cravings that cause you to eat unhealthy snacks and candy. You can substitute either breakfast or lunch with smoothies if you are trying to lose weight. Here are three great smoothie concoctions and each one has its own individual benefits.
If you are low on energy, you need healthy carbohydrates and proteins to boost the neurotransmitters in your brain. The ingredients are a cup of banana pieces, half a cup of tofu, half a cup of low-fat milk, one teaspoon of flaxseed powder, and three tablespoons of cocoa powder. Blend, chill, and drink.
Certain smoothies can eliminate toxins from your body. The key ingredients in this recipe are apple and avocado. Apples are rich in malic acid which can break down metallic compounds, and avocado is rich in glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant. Blend one cup of peeled, cubed, and cored apples with one de-stoned avocado. Also add half a cup of carrot juice, a teaspoon of psyllium powder, and two teaspoons of peeled, crushed ginger.
One of the most effective smoothies to aid with weight loss and burn calories is the following. Blend a cup of cold milk with three tablespoons cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of chilled silken tofu, 1 cup of raspberries (or strawberries), and a teaspoon of flaxseed powder. The cocoa powder will also satisfy a yearning for chocolate.
Smoothie recipes and juicing are also effective in lowering stress levels, particularly after a hard day’s work. Here’s a recipe that is full of nutrition and plenty of vitamins. Blend together a pitted peach, half a cup of strawberry nectar, two and a half cups of fresh strawberries, 2 cups of ice, and one cup of low-fat yogurt.
