Smoothies are the easiest means to get all the nutrients you need in a single meal. Healthy smoothie recipes are helpful when you have to leave very early for work and do not feel like eating anything yet, but still need enough nutrients to help you face the day. More so, blending different fruits and veggies into a glass allows you to savour all their flavours without needing to eat too much.

Also, If you have kids who are picky eaters, and you find yourself struggling with providing them all the nutrients they need, without necessarily putting too much pressure on them to eat, try a smoothie. Discover your child’s favourite flavour and make smoothies for him/her using a fruit that has that flavour. This way, you stress yourself and your child less. Just in case you have a hard time coming up with new smoothie recipes, check out our list of healthy smoothie recipes for help.
