The Health Benefits Of Fruit Smoothies

Fruit smoothies are a great way to add more fresh fruits to your diet – and a healthy way to naturally boost energy. Fruits are high in carbohydrates, which provide the energy needed to fuel your body and keep your mind alert. Bananas, berries and other fruits contain simple sugars for a quick energy boost plus complex carbohydrates which provide energy for hours – so you won’t experience the sugar crash you get from artificial energy drinks.
 

Vitamins & Minerals

Fruit smoothies are packed with many of the vitamins and minerals your body needs on a daily basis to stay healthy, including Vitamins A, B and C, as well as potassium and other essential minerals. Fruits, especially berries, are also rich in antioxidants that work to protect cells from the damage caused by harmful free radicals, which may reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases. Most smoothies also contain yogurt, which is a great source of protein that can strengthen bones and build muscle. Yogurt contains probiotics, as well, which can work to promote good digestive health.
