A smoothie is probably one of the best ways to fill you up while getting the vitamins and minerals that you need for improving and maintaining your overall health and well being. Can also be a great method that you can use to lose weight. It’s also a great tool for balancing hormones if you’re dealing with any gynecological issue like fibroids which can be affected by hormone imbalance. A smoothie is perfect for breakfast but you can have it any time of the day. So without further ado, here are some of the best tips to build not only a healthy smoothie but a delicious one too.
How To Build The Perfect Smoothie
5 Best Tips
1. Go green
Vegetables are a great source of nutrients and the fresher, the better (even better if organic!). They are also a great source of phytoestrogens which can help to promote hormone balance if you’re dealing with excessive estrogen which can be at the root of fibroid development. Phytoestrogens are a weaker form of estrogen which can replace the much stronger estrogen which is produced by the body.
Vegetables such as spinach, arugula, kale, beets, carrots, watercress, etc are fantastic for use in a smoothie and virtually disappear in a smoothie (for those of you who hate vegetables) . Aim for 1/4 cup per serving.
2. Add fat
There are some healthy fats that you can add to smoothies and they also increase the satiating power of the smoothie. Many fats are also high in protein. Add some coconut oil or nut butters, tahini or a quarter avocado (an especially rich source of healthy fatty acids). Olives as well.
3. Make it fruity
Fresh fruit adds sweetness, nutrition and texture. Just like vegetables, you will also get lots of fiber from certain fruits. There are so many fruits and berries that you can add but some of the most nutrient rich include blueberries, apples, papaya, pomegranate, bananas, goji berries, strawberries, cherries, etc. While fresh fruit is best and since they can spoil easy, frozen fruits and vegetables also work.
4. Proper Base
You must add a liquid so it the smoothies is sippable. You can simply use water but please skip sugary juices. Even better is to use non-dairy milks (soy milk, almond milk, etc, or even coconut water). Start with about 3/4 cup per serving. You can add more or less to suit your tastes.
5. Boost Flavor
Improve the flavor with some cocoa powder, turmeric, cinnamon, bee pollen, ginger, matcha powder, some ground flax seeds, etc. All of these are great for fighting fibroids and other health condition.
