Tips to KEEP IT HEALTHY: A smoothie is NOT a milkshake!
Smoothies can be an easy, convenient way to add essential nutrients to your diet. But remember, just because it’s a smoothie doesn’t mean it’s healthy. Make sure you use only healthy, nutrient-rich ingredients:
- Avoid adding heavy items with artery clogging components like ice cream, cream, or whole milk
- Avoid using sugar-sweetened fruit juice and limit other sweeteners, including honey and agave, to a teaspoon
- Although nut butters are healthy, keep portions in check as their calories add up quickly.
- Give your smoothie a nutritional boost with a long-lasting energy advantage; include some fruit, some vegetable and a source of protein (such as nonfat/low-fat yogurt, skim milk, split pea protein, etc, etc.) Refer to the Nutrition Twins Super Smoothie Ingredients List in the Bonus Points section.
