Chia, flax, or turmeric? Which superfoods to add to your smoothies, and why
Want to start living a healthier life? Smoothies are a great, easy, and yummy gateway to better health – this refreshing to-go beverage is packed with fruits, veggies, and superfoods that provide your body fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and many more benefits.
You can easily get them at cafés, but it’s cheaper to make them yourself at home. It can even be healthier too, as you have full control of what nutrients you’re putting inside your body. Plus, you can get creative with your daily smoothie combos!
I try to make smoothies at least thrice a week – I start with one or two kinds of frozen fruits such as berries, banana, mango, melon, peaches, kiwi, pineapple, and/or grapes. I also add a cup of frozen greens such as spinach, pechay, lettuce.
I blend everything together with my choice of dairy-free milk (either oat or almond), and sometimes add a scoop of peanut butter, cacao nibs, or honey to sweeten it up. Next is my powerhouse of superfood supplements – I usually add a scoop of chia seeds, ground flax seeds, and moringa powder for maximum health benefits (I hardly taste them either). And there you have it! I always feel good every time I finish my nutrient-packed, fiber-filled smoothie.
