What most people do not know is sometimes smoothie can do more harms to the body in unexpected ways. So in this article we will give information about how making homemade healthy smoothie. Let’s take a look.
Control the portion with measurement cup
Most people think that throwing all kinds of fruits and vegetables is good for the body since they all are healthy foods. But fruits contain sugar. That means if you blend too much fruit, you will consume too much sugar that is no good for health. The body also cannot handle too much nutrients from all fruits and vegetables you throw in the blender. The best combination of smoothie is like this: One single serving of fruits, for instance, apple or banana, low-fat liquid, for example skim milk or yogurts, and colored vegetables.
If you substitute the meal with a smoothie, add some things that would keep you full like oats or avocado. But if you drink smoothie as a snack between meals or after exercising, add some protein into the smoothie like milk or yogurts.
Limited the sweeteners
You already got the sweetness of fruits so limit or avoid using the sweeteners. If you have a sweet tooth, you can add natural sweeteners like cinnamon instead of artificial sweeteners. Honey, dates or agave are natural sweeteners, but they contain high sugar. So you better make strategy if you want to use them like cutting the portion of the fruits.
Don’t throw away the pulp from fruits and vegetables. The pulp is full of fibers which give more benefits to your body.
Don’t drink only smoothies every day. Though smoothies are good and healthy, your body still needs more nutrients from other foods, especially zinc and iron for women. One single serving of smoothies per day is enough for the body.
