Top 5 Health Boosting Smoothies

There’s nothing like a great tasting smoothie!

It’s a sound alternative to coffee. It provides a natural energy boost and will have significantly more vitamins, anti-oxidants and nutrients. Smoothies tend to have a sweet taste, making them excellent if you’re watching your diet, need to control the appetite and sweet cravings. You could substitute a single meal for a smoothie. They help to decrease the risk of both cancer and heart disease. They’re good for the digestive system and helps prevent constipation.

Here are five of the healthiest smoothies you can take in, giving your immune system a nice boost and helping to keep you healthy.

Blueberry Chia Blast
Chia was ingested by the ancient Mayans for its amazing energy boosting properties. It’s also very filling, making it a great option if you’re trying to lose a few pounds. Skip lunch, instead drinking one of these and not only ensure you can keep going for the rest of the afternoon but you maintained your caloric intake.

Killer Kale
It’s at the top of many a list. It increases energy, helping you get through the longest day. It’s highly recommended for its rich bran, which has a strong vanilla flavour. It’s also a superfood, a source of 100 vital nutrients most of us do not get in necessary amounts. Excellent for empowering the immune system and preventing illness, it will help keep you hydrated.

Very Berry Banana
With its smooth(ie) blend of tang and sweetness, this one can only be labeled delicious. It’s one of the simpler ones to make, containing only four ingredients: banana, strawberry, mixed berries and orange juice. That combination offers just enough sweetness meaning this drink requires no sweetener. That makes Very Banana a great choice for calorie watchers.

Apple & Beet
Beets are piled with solid nutrients that promise to make the skin glow. It’s also good for the digestive system. If you’re exercising, they’re a great source for good sugars. So even if you have an aversion to beets on your dinner plate, you need to give this one a try. Besides, it has the same sweet taste of most smoothies. The inclusion of ginger is excellent for improving circulation, giving you a nice shot of energy when you need it most.

Shamrock Shakes
This one’s going to be as tasty as healthy foods get. Banana, peppermint extract, chocolate soy milk and, for that true healthy eating maximisation, spinach. This is a versatile drink. The extract can be substituted with semi-sweet chocolate chips or cocoa powder, the chocolate soy milk with any soy milk. Last, throw some carob chips (or other preferred taste) in as a topping and you’re good to go.

At the end of the day, the best reason for drinking healthy smoothies is its detoxifying and cleansing components can do amazing things. People who drink them regularly find their hair gets shinier and becomes softer to the touch. The skin and nails begins to look better. Smoothies are packed with ingredients that discourage poor health, putting nutrients, vitamins, antioxidants and energy into the system.
