Not all smoothies are created equal. So, what makes a perfect smoothie?
When I’m making a smoothie, it’s with the goal of packing it as full of nutrients as I possibly can. I’m talking fibre, healthy fats, antioxidants, and more phytonutrients than you can shake a stick at!
Why? Because when you start your morning off with a nutritional bang, that can carry you through the rest of your busy day. Turns out the rumours are true: what you eat can and does affect how you feel…. and you deserve to feel AHH-MAZ-ING!
Imagine having more energy, fewer junk food cravings, happier hormones, a revved-up metabolism, a healthier gut, and no mid-afternoon crash — it’s totally possible. All you need is my 6 step formula for building your strategic energy smoothie, and I am spilling ALL the goods in this episode of The Healthy AF Mom show!
Grab your blender and hit play to learn:
Why we often tend to add TOO MUCH fruit to our smoothies (and the portion size to aim for)
How much protein you need per day and how to choose your source(s)
Why drive-thru and grocery store smoothies aren’t as healthy as they claim to be
