Can’t Stop Snacking?
Snacking all the time and never feel full? Try to sub cookies with smoothies. Fiber in fruit or vegetables will curb your urge to eat those. Half of avocado in your smoothie will enrich it with healthy fats, fiber and protein.
Healthy eating helps you stay in peak condition and here we are not just talking about weight control but about your mental health as well. Alkaline foods such as carrots, strawberries, spinach and celery will better your digestion, so adding these to your smoothie will have a positive effect on your body.
Drinking smoothies doesn’t mean your diet is balanced but it is one of the meals that can be a part of your healthy eating habits.
Remember that a glass or two for breakfast also doesn’t mean you can eat candies, drink lots of coffee and eat chips for the rest of the day.
And one more thing, smoothies are not milkshakes containing packed juice, fruits and ice cream.
Below we’ll share with you few smoothie recipes. No worries, America House staff sampled all of these and can guarantee you'll enjoy it. All of the ingredients can be purchased in Ukrainian supermarkets.
