I’m a huge smoothie advocate. Why? Simplicity. Taste. Health.
Smoothies are one of the easiest and quickest things to make and can be packed full of healthy ingredients. Furthermore, with a tendency for weight lifters to focus on macronutrients, smoothies are a fantastic way to get micronutrients into the diet.
Now, I’m all for fruit based smoothies but in an attempt to keep my blood sugar levels low, I try to minimize the fruit and really amp up the vegetables. Unfortunately, vegetables give a very earthy taste but with a few tricks, the earthy taste is replaced with a yummy one!
