5 Health Benefits of Smoothies

5 health benefits of smoothies

There are so many health benefits of smoothies! Eat to live. That’s the way it should be. The foods we eat and how we treat our bodies significantly impact the quality of life we enjoy. Whole foods naturally have nutrients that work to make us healthy (or not healthy). Below is a list of health benefits we may experience when we eat foods containing certain nutrients, along with some Blendtec smoothie recipes that help with each benefit.

Immunity Boost – certain nutrients provide better immune protection than others. The nutrients to look for when considering an immunity boost include protein, vitamins A, C, and E, and zinc. Look for fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein.

  1. Cantaloupe Veggie Smoothie
  2. Açaí Berry Smoothie
  3. Green Monster Smoothie

Skin Health – antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E help quench free radicals that cause damage such as signs of aging to skin. Healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids work to keep the skin strong and intact. Choose fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds to improve skin health.

  1. Kale Mango Smoothie
  2. Cran-Razz Fusion
  3. Pineapple Orange Juice

Energy Boost –Foods with energy boosting nutrients include bananas, leafy greens, berries, nuts, and seeds. Energy-boosting nutrients are B vitamins, magnesium, natural sugar, fiber, and other vitamins.

  1. Peaches and Cream Green
  2. Mango Tango
  3. Jolly Green Smoothie

Diabetes Management – choosing foods with a moderate amount of carbohydrate, fiber, protein, good fats along with other nutrients help to keep blood sugar levels under control and in a healthy range.

  1. Garden Green Giant Juice
  2. Peach Yogurt Cooler
  3. Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

Cardiovascular Health – the heart is the powerhouse of the body so it’s crucial to keep it strong and healthy. Phytonutrients such as Quercetin, polyphenols, and other nutrients including folate, magnesium, fiber and healthy fats all aid in keeping the heart healthy from lowering LDL cholesterol, raising HDL cholesterol, to lowering blood pressure. Look to apples, berries, garbanzo beans, oatmeal, leafy greens, nuts and seeds to find some of these great nutrients.

  1. Healthy Start Smoothie
  2. Vegan Berry Smoothie
  3. Blueberry Oatmeal Smoothie

    Thank you, especially, for grouping the smoothies into health benefits. I would like to understand better if I’m now getting the 5 fruits/veggies requirement each day. for instance, how much kale is one serving, and one clementine can’t be the same as one orange for a fruit? Can you share a link for this information?

    This is really great article. Smoothies look great :)

    Yes, you can place an order online for a new Blendtec jar.

    Thank you, Holly, for sharing such wonderfully nutritious Blendtec recipes. It has been sooooo fun—and healthy!—to own a Blendtec, and I’m always saving the recipes you send—eager to give them a try! Way to go, Holly!

    Hi Kevin,
    Check out today’s protein smoothies post. These recipes don’t use anything like pineapple flavored protein powder, but it’s not just unflavored protein powders.

    Thanks for the idea, we’ll have to look into using other flavors.
