Is it healthy to have a smoothie for breakfast?
Smoothies can be a healthy breakfast if you have a good balance of ingredients and nutrients rich in protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Smoothies rely heavily on fruits and vegetables. It cuts down on instant sugar and boosts the fiber content.
You might consider adding lots of fruit juice and a sweetener, such as honey, to limit the sugar. Adding yogurt and protein powder helps make smoothies more nutritious. This will make you feel full for longer.
The liquid base you use in your smoothie also plays a big role. Skip fruit juices, which are loaded with sugar and lack protein and fat. Opt for low-fat milk or unsweetened, non-dairy milk like almond, coconut, or cashew instead. Some non-dairy milk contain less protein than cow's milk, but they provide healthy fats to keep you satiated.
