Smoothie Benefits
Taking smoothies is the easiest way to eat/take the vegetables we need daily. You can have two cups of spinach or kale in a smoothie without a problem. You can have celery, sweet potato, ginger, beets, and other ingredients we don’t usually eat in the morning.
This orange smoothie is full of vitamin A, which makes us have incredible skin. Sweet potatoes or orange squash contain carotenes that give us anti-aging superpowers. This smoothie also has ginger, chia, cinnamon, nutmeg, dates, and vanilla; each has special nutritional powers.
🔥 TIP This orange smoothie recipe works perfectly with the MEAL PLANNING trend. While you are chopping carrots for a soup or salad, chop some for your smoothie too. Or the other way around, if you're chopping carrots, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash for your smoothie, chop a bit more to cook with them. The day I made my orange smoothie I made my detox carrot soup.
💥 IDEA Here is an idea so that you don´t get tons of dirty dishes to wash: Measure the ingredients in the glass or jar that you are going to drink the orange smoothie afterwards. I use the same jar where I keep the pre-prepared smoothie to measure the milk and then drink it.
