Smoothie prep Sunday
Every Sunday, I try to prep ahead for the week so that I can stay on top of what I eat. My morning smoothies are essential to me starting my day off right. I usually prep just enough to get me through one week but this time I did double. I typically like to do about 3 different combinations to have a little variety. The combinations I chop this prep include:
Green smoothie:
Spinach
Green Apple 🍏
Pineapple 🍍
Kiwi 🥝
Avocado 🥑
Lime 🍋🟩
Orange smoothie:
Carrots 🥕
Ginger 🫚
Peaches 🍑
Mangoes 🥭
Banana 🍌
Lemon 🍋
Purple smoothie:
Spinach
Strawberries 🍓
Blueberry 🫐
Banana 🍌
Dragon fruit
As a liquid base I use water with a touch of orange or apple juice
Smoothies are a fantastic way to pack nutrients into your diet, especially when prepared in advance. Each ingredient in your smoothies plays a vital role in enhancing your health. For instance, spinach is rich in iron and fibers, while fruits like banana and mango offer natural sweetness and a boost of vitamins. Incorporating ginger into your orange smoothie can aid digestion and provide anti-inflammatory properties. Don’t forget the vitamin C from fruits like kiwi and strawberries which help in boosting your immune system. To mix things up, consider adding chia seeds or flaxseeds for added omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health. Moreover, experimenting with different liquid bases can enhance flavors; almond milk or coconut water can be fantastic alternatives to water or juice. Preparing your smoothies on Sunday can save you time and ensure you have nutrient-packed options ready to go every morning. This week, challenge yourself to try a new combination to keep your breakfast exciting and delicious.
