GLOW Green Smoothie - PLANT-BASED (VEGAN) FOR BEAUTY FROM THE INSIDE-OUT
December 01, 2020
We have a DEEP LOVE for HEALTHY smoothies ~ such a GREAT way of increasing your daily intake of vegetables and fruits, fibre and antioxidants...
ALL OF WHICH ARE KEY FACTORS IN OUR NUTRITION FOR BEAUTY AND ANTIAGING ARSENAL!!
A KEY POINT: Ensure your smoothie is VEGGIE LOADED to help keep things in check! We recommend using about 1 cup total of FRUIT (ie. combination of 1/2 cup berries + 1/2 banana) and make up the rest with VEGGIES, PLANT BASED PROTEIN POWDER, NON DAIRY MILK or WATER, AND HEALTHY FAT!
Loading smoothies with SUPER FOODS + PROTEIN + FIBRE really helps to keep you feeling satiated longer and helps to decrease the overall impact on blood sugar levels.
Using the whole vegetables and fruits (wash the produce well and leave the skin on...buy organic if possible) and BLENDING it all increases the overall fibre content of the smoothie - and who (or whose body) doesn't LOVE that?!
