Having green smoothie recipes a week can give you a fuller, healthier life. Of course, smoothies make what’s lip-smacking tasty, really healthy. Smoothie aficionados love that whirr of the blender that charges them up on their way to work. But let me spill one of the best-kept secrets of all smoothie buffs. All of us have faced many a disastrous morning when things ended up in a terrible, yucky mess. We learn the hard way that the healthy, yummy smoothie needs to have the right ingredients in the proper proportion.
But getting there may take several mournful mornings. Over the years. I learned to replace milk with yogurt because that gives the smoothie a fuller taste and positive probiotic qualities.
A healthy smoothie must have the useful fiber content, low calorie index, ability to release energy over a more extended period, high nutrient infusion, and a lip-smacking taste. There is nothing better than a perfect smoothie day. In fact, every day can be a smoothie day. We just need to add the spice of variety. That is why I have my rainbow magic of healthy smoothie recipes that can last a whole week. They are healthy, wholesome and easy to whip up with ingredients available in every household. We require only a basic blender that any guide on how to choose the best blenders under $100 for Smoothies will tell you It would be a good idea to add a vegetable chopper that could be picked off on any manual on how to choose the best vegetable chopper. The fruits are best picked up fresh, washed and diced immediately, and frozen to lock in their innate goodness. Using frozen fruit because you do not want the smoothie to end up too runny. I like my smoothies with chewy chunks that help stimulate my digestive glands. Some may yet like them smooth.
