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.
Cranberries – rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and polyphenols, which may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. They are also high in vitamin C, support urinary tract health by preventing bacterial adherence, and offer potential benefits for heart health, oral health, and weight management due to their fiber content.
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.
Soy milk – a plant-based alternative to dairy milk, provides a good source of protein(complete), essential amino acids, and various vitamins and minerals. Soy milk has cardiovascular and bone health benefits. The beverage is also low in saturated fat and may help lower cholesterol levels, promoting heart health.
