Adding smoothies to your diet is an efficient way to increase your fruit and veggie intake and help give your body the nutrients it needs. Jump-starting your day with plenty of fiber-rich produce makes for the perfect breakfast, but did you know that smoothies are great meal replacements or snack for any time of day?

Gone are the days of only using fruit and fruit juices as the main ingredients. It is now quite popular for vegetables to also play a major role in making healthy, nutritious, and delicious smoothies.

Tips and Tricks to Making Smoothies:

Stick to neutral-tasting greens: avoid bitter varieties like arugula, collards, and mustard greens
Healthy Fats: nut butters, like almond butter and cashew butter, are a good source of healthy fats.
Skip Sugary Juices: Instead of water or juice, you can use healthy tea as the base of your smoothie.
Greens Go First: blending greens first prevents chunks from getting stuck in your teeth.
Explore Non-Dairy Options: Unsweetened soy milk not only provides the much-needed fluid to blend the smoothie, but it is more nutrient-dense than other non-dairy milks.
