Need some power? This thick creamy smoothie is packed with greens, good fats and tastes great! It is an excellent way to start you day or fuel your body with good food after a workout.
Actually you do not really need a reason to treat yourself to a delicious and healthy smoothie, it is always a good idea. For me smoothie is part of my daily food. At the moment I am experimenting a bit with the colours, but I feel already that I am moving back into the direction of green. I really think is is a great way to get you daily dose of greens and that it contributes highly to a healthy lifestyle.
Just to pick one of the ingredients: superfood avocado. This beautiful piece of fruit, yes fruit not vegetable, is packed with fiber and a lot of other healthy nutrients, like:
- protein
- vitamines B & C
- vitamines A, E & K
- carotenoids; boost immunity
- antioxidants phytochemicals; prevent free radicals
- phytonutrients; anti inflamatory
- folate
- important trace vitamines; magnesium, potassium, iron and copper
- mono saturated fats
Combining this with the benefits of broccoli, I cannot conclude other than that this smoothie is definitely good for you!
