Tip: Are You Having Your Smoothie Right?
Since it would take you some time to prepare for and make a burger, we recommend that you start with a fruit shake first. They are delicious taking them early morning or in the evening can increase your intake of fruits and vegetables, and provide you with a wide range of nutrients.
Smoothies are great for weight loss because they are loaded with all the goodness of Mother Nature. Today we have one such delicacy that is a powerhouse of nutrition because it is made of succulent, summer-ripe blueberries, and banana. Tiny, round blue-purple blueberries have long been attributed to longevity and wellness.
Blueberries are loaded with fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and phytonutrients. Every banana has only 105 calories, 27 grams of carbs, 3 grams of satiating fiber, and 14 grams of sugar. It is true that compared to other fruits they do have slightly high calories and carbs but sticking to one five-inch portion a day will not harm anyone.
Here’s how you can get started with the delectable ‘banana-blueberry-soy shake’ in just 5 minutes. Ingredients
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ sliced banana
1¼ cup of soy milk (light)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp sugar/honey
METHOD
Blend 1 cup of milk, the blueberries, banana, sugar or sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add up to ¼ cup more milk if a thinner smoothie is desired.
