Summer of Smoothies
While smoothies are delicious year-round, there is something about a smoothie on a sunny summer day that tastes even more delicious! Smoothies are the perfect way to add beneficial nutrients to your diet. A smoothie filled with fiber, healthy fats, and protein can keep blood sugar regulated AND ensures you’re full and satisfied until your next meal.
Smoothie ingredients are limitless! We encourage you to blend up your favorite fresh or frozen fruits, a handful of greens, your choice of juice or milk variations for liquid, along with a variety of these additional unique ingredients below. Here are some of our favorite unique smoothie additions that will add some extra oomph to your next smoothie!
- Hemp Seeds – This sweet, nutty, high-protein seed is filled with Omega 3, 6, and all 9 essential amino acids. Blend in or top your smoothie with them!
- Chia Seeds – This superfood is high in fiber, rich in healthy fats, and loaded with antioxidants. Blend or use as a topping.
