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.

Raspberries – packed with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. They support heart health, aid in digestion, and may help manage weight. The high levels of anthocyanins in raspberries contribute to their anti-inflammatory properties, benefiting 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.
