Staying healthy should feel like second nature. After all, we have a wealth of nutritional information at our fingertips and we’re absolutely spoiled for choice at the local supermarket. But if we want to get the most out of what we eat, we need to make sure the foods we crave are the freshest every time we reach inside the fridge.
Ultimate health kick
Smoothies are arguably one of the healthiest — and easiest — approaches to getting the essentials you need every day. When done right, they offer an optimal balance of carbs, fiber, protein and healthy fats. And rather than having to whip up a large meal with several servings, you get all your essentials in one easy-to-consume drink. What better way to get you up and running when you’re pressed for time and want something that packs a healthy punch?
Get the most out of every day
In order to function optimally we need to be getting our daily recommended intake. But as the distractions of the day keep getting in the way, it’s easy to lose sight and skip out on the essentials. Smoothies are easily digestible and can be stored away so you don’t get bogged down by breakfast and can get on with your ever-growing to-do list.
Purely natural
The key to concocting the ultimate smoothie is adding in the purest of ingredients. “Eating raw organic food allows you to taste the original flavours and absorb the nutrients better” says Quanna Masterson, a millennial who prides herself on mindful eating. Masterson feels keeping a purist approach to daily food intake is the way to go to get the most out of each and every day. Whether its kale, cabbage, mint leaves, oranges, bananas or coriander she is throwing into the mix, it’s always garden-fresh.
Colour me healthy
Not only will colour coordinating make your smoothies look better lining your fridge door — you’ll have a better idea of which nutrients they are rich in. Orange and yellow fruits are loaded with beta carotene and bioflavonoids while dark green veggies are packed with iron, folate and chlorophyll. Each colour has its nutritional benefits and knowing which is which will help you easily manage what essentials you need, and when you need them.
