I don’t think they’re that great for a breakfast, I usually drink them at night so as to not wake up feeling bloated the next morning.
No and yes. An all fruit smoothie will be high in sugar, low in fibre and contains no protein. A smoothie with Kale and spinach and a spoon of almond butter would be good though.
Absolutely. Have fruits such as apples and banana in there to give you healthy carbs. Add avocados and spinach for healthy fats and minerals. And also put some turmeric, ginger and flaxseeds to get the nutrition from the spices and seeds you dont normally consume. Hope this helps :-)
Yes as they help you eat more fruit and veg but you need to have them with something else, i.e. protein based such as eggs.
Depends on what is in the smoothie. Ice Cream? Probably not. I make my smoothies with non fat Greek yogurt for protein, spinach for iron, banana, frozen fruit, and juice. I count that as a healthy breakfast.
If you are making it right it does. I usually make it with spinach and a banana. But there must be more than 50 percent of green vegetable (green leaves).
Depend on the smoothie. If is a carb based smoothie I don’t is a smart choice because will be too much sugar for a breakfast that goes straight to your circulation.
It depends what they’re made with. I use coconut or almond milk, protein powder, greens, a half a frozen banana, a small handful of frozen veggies berries, chia, flax, and sometimes healthy additions such as oatmeal or greek yogurt. It can be pretty calorie heavy though, and if you use too much fruit it’s also sugar heavy. Healthy ingredients in moderation makes a great breakfast.
It depends on what’s in the smoothies if you put chocolate and other sweet stuff then it’s not really a great breakfast but if you put fruits then it’s a great breakfast hope this helps!
If the smoothie has sugar it’s not a great break fast but if it is just with fruits it’s not bad because fruits are good But breakfast must include protein
