NUTRITION
I call this smoothie morning glory. It contains all the necessary ingredients to fuel your body and kick start your day on a healthy note. The secret to having a healthy smoothie is to be mindful of your fruit and vegetable combinations and quantity.
A smoothie made with only fruits without nuts (chia seeds, almonds, flax seeds etc.) or veggies (lettuce, beetroot, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes etc.) is a pure recipe for sugar rush and should be avoided by diabetics at all cost.
Chia seeds are good sources of fibre and also high in antioxidants. Practice the habit of incorporating seeds, nuts and fibre into your diet especially in the morning. This is sure to keep you full and active to soar through your morning. Also very good for your weight loss journey, is pineapple which contains bromelain. Let’s not forget that smoothies improve digestion and prevents constipation.
