Health Benefits of Fruit and Vegetable Smoothies 

Increase your daily fruit and vegetable intake by adding a fruit or vegetable smoothie to your diet.

Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other essential nutrients found in fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and dairy, smoothies provide a convenient way to help you meet the World Health Organization’s recommended five daily servings of fruit and vegetables per day.

Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables has many health benefits such as: 

• Improved digestion 
  
• Lower risk of heart disease
• Lower risk of age-related illnesses
• Ability to maintain a healthy weight
• Prevent osteoporosis 
  
• Reduce inflammation throughout the body 
  

However, it’s important to keep in mind that some smoothies provide more health benefits than others. A smoothie is only as healthy as the stuff you put in it. With many high-calorie smoothie recipes out there, choosing the right ones for your diet and lifestyle means carefully reviewing the ingredients found in the recipe.    

Can Fruit and Vegetable Smoothies Help with Weight Loss? 

Fruit and vegetable smoothies can help aid in weight loss by providing a way for you to get the nutrients you need without going over your daily calorie allowance. Some people use smoothies as a meal replacement, while others use smoothies to help manage sweet and salty food cravings.

While drinking fruit and vegetable smoothies alone will not help you lose weight, when incorporated into your diet and fitness regimen, smoothies packed with nutrients, protein, and fiber can provide added energy, while creating a feeling of fullness which can help keep you from overeating.

If using smoothies as a meal replacement or healthy snack option, choose a smoothie recipe that features fresh ingredients and no added sugar. Smoothies that contain lots of protein and fiber help provide the energy your body needs to engage in physical activity. 

Smoothies for All Seasons 

You can make smoothies all year long using seasonal ingredients found in your grocery store. Explore new flavors to discover combinations you might not have dared to try before.

Mix up your daily smoothie recipe by: 

• Adding frozen fruit for extra chill 
  
• Using non-dairy products like soy milk, almond milk, and oat milk for added protein
• Increase or decrease liquids to create thick ice cream float-like smoothies or thin juice-like smoothies
• Combine both fruit and vegetables for a superfood smoothie
• Add nuts and seeds for added protein and fiber 
  
• Sprinkle cinnamon, nut, or candy pieces on top for a special treat

As you can see, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating great-tasting, healthy smoothies for breakfast, snacks, and desserts.
