Who doesn’t want to start the New year off right?
I’ve been starting my days off with fruit and haven’t regret it since. I mix different fruits using my nutribullet. Depending on my mood I usually colorize my smoothies to whatever mood I wake up in. According to the food pyramid we should have at least 2 to 4 servings of fruit and 4 to 6 servings of vegetable each day. There’s so many gains from just including fruit into your diet.
Did You Know?
Blueberries and bananas is 2 of the top 10 fruits you should eat everyday. Blueberries are high in anti-oxidants and helps with cognitive ability. Bananas has a high amount of potassium and fiber which helps the heart.
Oranges are one of the most popular fruits in the world. Oranges and mangoes are known to provide a significant amount of vitamin C.
How I Make My Smoothies
When I’m making my smoothies I usually mix the tart fruits (berries, etc) with sweet fruits (bananas or mangoes) together to balance out the flavors. I get my color inspirations from pinterest. Since I don’t use milk and I barely use yogurt in my smoothies, the consistency is not as thick. So in order for my colors to separate and not mix into each other I have to slice thin layers of fruit and put it in between as a base.
