Add a handful of greens or superfoods (e.g., spirulina, chia, flax) to boost nutrition.
Adjust sweetness with fruit β no need for added sugar.
Stay hydrated and combine with whole meals during the day.
β οΈ Precautions When Drinking Smoothies Daily
While smoothies are a great way to get more fruits and vegetables, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Watch portion sizes β Too much fruit can lead to high sugar intake, even if itβs natural.
Balance is key β Try to include healthy fats (avocado, seeds) and protein (yogurt, nuts) for a complete meal.
Avoid too many raw cruciferous vegetables (like raw kale or broccoli) daily, as they may affect thyroid function in sensitive people.
Rotate ingredients β Repeating the same recipe every day may cause nutrient imbalances or food sensitivities.
Digestive sensitivity β Some ingredients (like pineapple, ginger, or citrus) may cause discomfort if you have acid reflux or a sensitive stomach.
Allergies β Always be cautious if trying a new ingredient; introduce one at a time if you have allergy concerns.
Use fresh, clean produce β Wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly and choose organic when possible.
