As we all know, everyone loves smoothies. This sweet and refreshing beverage - which can be served as a breakfast, snack or dessert - is as delicious as it is easy to make.
That being said, there are many combinations of foods that can be used depending on your taste, but also depending on the nutrition you want to get from it. Fruits and vegetables are often the first ingredients you think of when making a smoothie, although they are not your only option! Consider adding a protein, such as yogurt or simply protein powder. Much better than a classic post-workout shake or to start the day off right!
Grain products, as well as good fats like avocado can also be part of the mix and ensure that you include as many nutrients as possible in your serving.
In other words, there is no lack of inspiration as we present you 3 varied recipes that can be made at home in only 5 minutes! You'll see that eating healthy doesn't always have to be complicated. 😉
