Are Smoothies healthy?

  • Smoothies can support digestive health, sweep toxins through the digestive tract and aid regular elimination
  • Satisfy hunger and sustain energy over time
  • Balance blood sugar levels
  • Smoothies retain all of the fibre of the greens and fruit, rather than removing it. In nature, vegetables and fruit are found with both their fibre and juice intact and we can’t improve on nature.
  • Fibre is important for ongoing cleansing by sweeping out toxins on a regular basis.
  • So, smoothies can help keep our digestive tract and body clean as well as keeping us more full

Healthy Smoothie Recipes

Healthy choices like smoothies at one point in the day don’t cancel out less healthy choices other times in the day. So, the idea is that they replace these foods or leave less room in the diet for them. Blending  fruit releases the natural sugars from within the cell walls so they’re “free sugars”. Free sugars include any added sugars and the kind we should all be cutting down on to protect our teeth and help maintain a healthy weight .

Including fruit and veg in our diets throughout the day means there is more chance of that happening.
It can be terribly hard to fit all this into our hectic city lifestyles.
