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.
Mangoes – rich in vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health. They also provide vitamin A, contributing to vision and immune health. With a good amount of fiber and natural sugars, mangoes offer a sweet and satisfying addition to a balanced diet.
Almond milk – low in calories, naturally lactose-free, and suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. A good source of vitamin E, an antioxidant that supports skin health, and provides essential minerals like calcium and vitamin D for bone health.
Plant-based protein powder – supports recovery, weight management, satiety and overall nutrition without dairy or animal products. I used this one from Purely Inspired but you can choose any vanilla protein powder you like!
