FIVE WAYS TO REVAMP YOUR SMOOTHIE
As a refreshing and delicious way to max out on protein and other essential nutrients, smoothies have taken America by storm. If you’re a smoothie junkie, here are five ingredients that will make your next smoothie your favorite one yet.
1. Peanut butter. Once you put a dollop of peanut butter in your smoothie, you’ll never go back.
2. Avocado. Avocados add potassium and fiber, and create a creamy texture and a distinct taste so many love.
3. Fresh ginger. With its strong, peppery flavor, ginger balances out the sweet flavor of fruits and helps with digestion.
4. Oats. If you end up with a watery smoothie, add some oats to thicken it up while adding fiber.
5. Chia seeds. Studies from the National Center for Biotechnology Information have shown that chia seeds can naturally boost your energy, making them a perfect addition to your morning smoothie.
