Hi, I’m Weis Dietitian Christina with the Weis HealthyBites tip of the week.
Smoothies are a refreshing way to cool down and stay hydrated. Let’s discuss some tips for building a nutritious smoothie:
- Start out with a protein-packed base such as milk, soymilk, or Greek yogur
- Choose and measure 1-2 fruits for your smoothie. These can be fresh, frozen, or canned. Frozen fruit usually yields a thicker smoothie.
- Add in some veggies such as spinach, kale, carrots, or cucumbers
- Top it off with some nutritious mix-ins such as chia seeds, coconut, cinnamon, or peanut butter
Get creative with different combinations to find your favorite smoothie.
