What should I be including in my smoothies?
When making smoothies or smoothie bowls, I like to prioritize a balance of macronutrients. This means making sure each smoothie contains some source of complex carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats to help keep me full and energized for where the day make take me. It’s also a great rule of thumb to always aim to include at least one vegetable in your smoothies for an extra boost of nutrition! Then of course – because I’m me – I also then usually toss in some “superfood” ingredients whether it be chia seeds, a mushroom powder like reishi powder, maca root powder or a greens powder. **To have a nourishing and delicious smoothie you do not need to add these types of “superfood” ingredients. You can keep it simple if that feels right for you, I just can’t help but go over the top!
The aim of a smoothie is to provide a nurient-packed meal in a delicious way!
