<\/a>Are Smoothies Healthy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the biggest questions out there. The answer will really depend on the type of smoothie you are making. However, in general, smoothies are healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most smoothies are made with lots of fruits. Fruits have natural vitamins and minerals. They are also naturally sweet which means you don\u2019t always need extra sugar or sweetener to make a smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many smoothies, especially green smoothies, are made with vegetables in addition to fruit. Spinach, kale, and even broccoli are often found in green smoothies. Green veggies have lots of fiber, vitamins and minerals. These health benefits are especially strong when the veggies are blended, un cooked, into a smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most smoothies are made with milk or yogurt. Adding dairy to a smoothie can help improve bone strength and give you some extra calcium in your diet. If a smoothie doesn\u2019t have dairy, it likely has almond milk, oat milk or another type of high protein milk. Even if a smoothie is just made with water, it is still hydrating!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing to check for in a smoothie recipe is added sugar. Too much sugar is how most smoothies end up being not very healthy. Keep the extra sugar to a minimum, choosing fruits that are super ripe to add natural sweetness, and you are sure to end up with a healthy drink!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
