Nutritional Benefits
Smoothies are a nutritious way to boost fiber intake, aiding digestion and satiety, while facilitating the absorption of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They improve nutrient absorption and increase fruit and vegetable consumption, supporting overall health.
Bananas – rich in potassium, essential for heart health and blood pressure regulation. They provide quick energy from natural sugars, contain dietary fiber for digestion, and offer essential vitamins like vitamin C and vitamin B6.
Peaches – rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, promoting skin health, supporting digestion, and providing essential nutrients. They contain fiber, vitamin C, and A, contributing to immune function, vision, and overall well-being.
