How you can make a deliciously filling and satisfying smoothie at home (that isn’t full of sugar like the smoothie shop)!
It will keep your blood sugars balanced, your hunger hormones in check, and leave you feeling full for hours.
The super smoothie is a perfect on-the-go breakfast, or post-workout meal. Honestly, as a busy mom, the super smoothie saves me from eating junk on the go SO often!
The SUPER SMOOTHIE is full of veggies, fruits, healthy fats, AND protein. The fat-fiber-protein punch is the winning combo to keep you feeling full!
Start with about 8 ounces of liquid + a handful of ice in your blender.Then add fiber, fats, and protein
liquid: water, coconut water, green tea, almond milk, coconut milk, or cows milk are great options
fiber: fruits and veggies are a great source of fiber to help with digestion, balance blood sugars, prevent chronic diseases, and increases satiety as well.
try: veggies like kale, spinach, celery beets, or cucumber
banana, berries, pineapple, or peaches are great options (try to stick with 1/2c or less!)
fats: fats are ideal for that satisfied feeling, and also provide nourishment for our brains, and help with healthy skin too!
protein: protein balances your blood sugar, which helps you avoid that sugar spike then crash feeling you can get from too-sweet shakes and smoothies. Aim to get at leas 20 g of protein.
try: whey, casein, egg white, pea, or rice protein.
