Smoothies

Many people consume smoothies as a morning meal or afternoon snack. They can be a great way to incorporate more healthy foods into your diet. 

May help boost fruit and vegetable intake.

Smoothies made primarily from fresh or frozen produce may increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables, which provide a diverse array of essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.

Together, these nutrients may reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and lower your risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, osteoporosis, obesity, and age-related mental decline.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that adults eat at least 5 servings (around 400 grams) of fruits and vegetables per day. However, most people fall short of this mark.

If you find you’re not eating enough foods or veggies, a smoothie can be a delicious way to pack in 2–3 more servings.
