Effortless Smoothie Recipes For The Woman On The Go - Page 5

Smoothies are one of the easiest meal replacements simply because they are filling, easy to make, and versatile. Smoothies come in a variety of flavors, and depending on what’s included, can be used for different purposes. For instance, a green smoothie may be used to detox and cleanse the liver and body of toxins and processed foods. Because smoothies are high in fiber, they help to remove waste and the effects are highly rewarding. We’re talking clearer skin, better mood, decreased appetite, and more energy.

You can also flavor your smoothie any way imaginable! Smoothie recipes that include bananas as a base will add creaminess and texture to an otherwise loosely dense mix. Boosters like chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and aloe vera juice provide fiber, vitamins, minerals and nutrients that will add even more nutrition. Although there are a few ingredients to avoid, like highly sweetened yogurts or juices, smoothies can be a great meal option in the morning (or evening) for the woman on the go. Here are several smoothie recipes to make your day a lot smoother!
