5 healthy recipes to try for your health

Introducing the FLIP ULTRA from O2VAPE

Depending on the ingredients, a smoothie may not be as healthy as you may expect, but it can still be a handy, filling, and tasty snack or supper.

If all that’s in a smoothie is fruit, it won’t be nutritionally balanced and may cause blood sugar spikes and crashes. It also won’t make you feel full for very long.

According to certified dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine, “the major error individuals make when creating smoothies is making them with 100% fruit.”

Use one to two different fruits, such as a small or half-large banana and a handful of berries (fresh or frozen), a dairy milk or non-dairy substitute fortified with calcium and iodine, and a portion of greens, such as a handful of spinach, to create a smoothie that is more balanced, according to Ludlam-Raine.

When you want to add more taste and additional nutrients like healthy fats, fiber, and protein, she advised adding extra ingredients like Greek yogurt, nut butter, oats, and/or protein powder.

According to Ludlam-Raine, “they together assist to slow down the release of the energy from the blended fruit.”

The five smoothie recipes that Ludlam-Raine like are listed below.

Chocolate hazelnut smoothie

“Not only because it tastes great (because who doesn’t love chocolate for morning? ), but also because it is one of my favorite breakfast smoothie recipes for when I am pressed for time. but it also has slow-releasing oats, an excellent supply of carbs for energy, and Greek yogurt, a natural source of protein to keep you feeling full “Ludlam-Raine remarked.

In order to refill your glycogen levels and sustain you until your next meal, it also works well as a post-workout mid-morning or afternoon snack.
