We try to fill up on 5 servings a day of fruits and veggies, but when you're on the go it can be difficult to fit them in!
One of our favorite solutions - especially on a busy day - is a healthy summer smoothie. From spinach and kale, organic fruits and vegetables, chia seeds, to agave nectar - you can add almost anything but the kitchen sink to create a delicious and nutritious smoothie.
Quick Tips for a GREAT Smoothie:
- Keep fruit frozen. Frozen fruit gives a nice thickness and texture to jump start the day.
- Buy fruit in season and on sale. Sometimes we buy pre-frozen fruit, but otherwise lookout for fresh fruit in the produce department. Then at home clean, cut off stems, place in small freezer safe bags, and store in the freezer. It's a great way to portion control and be ready to go in the morning.
- Get creative! Experiment with your shakes and smoothies. Maybe it's tropical breeze one morning and the next it's a nutty chocolate banana goodness. Try different combos to find your staple recipes.
