Yummy, nutritious and energizing smoothie recipes for weight loss, clear skin, beauty, and longevity! Drinking smoothies for breakfast is an excellent way to start your day off right. Smoothies are not only easy and fast to make, but are also cleansing and satisfying. Smoothies are a great way to load up on your nutritional needs and sneak in your veggies/greens! ;) All the smoothies shown here require a high speed blender, such as a Dash Digital Blender.
Be sure to clean your blender after making a smoothie, to ensure you have a clean blender for the next time you use it.
SMOOTHIE TIP: Your smoothie ingredients should be no more than 5 ingredients. Adding TOO many ingredients in a SINGLE smoothie can cause indigestion or a slower digestion. Be sure to CHEW your smoothies, too, and drink it slowly for optimum digestion and absorption. Don’t chug your smoothie down; actually enjoy it.
Another tip to keep in mind, is PROPER FOOD COMBINATION. Fruits that COMBINE WELL in smoothies are: bananas, dates, mango, apple, pears, berries, and grapes. Fruits that DON”T COMBINE WELL are sweet fruits with citrus or acidic fruits like oranges, pineapple, tomatoes. etc. FRESH IS ALWAYS BEST, however, you can add a mix of fresh and frozen fruits into your smoothies to make it colder. You wouldn’t need to add ice if you add frozen fruits.
