7 smoothie recipes for the whole week. healthy eating recipes.
It's the third week of quarantine and no matter how hard we try to stick to proper nutrition in our diet, cook proper food, many people start having problems with it.
I myself, no matter how hard I try, from sitting at home for a long time, start to drag in food that definitely doesn't make me feel better. Yes, it is gluten-free. But it is usually something sweet and carbohydrate: cookies, bread, dried fruits, nuts, seeds. Everything that does not form the basis of my usual diet and from the excess of these products I feel discomfort and my gastrointestinal tract and skin react to it. How can I stop? How can I quickly switch to a healthy diet quickly and painlessly?
For me, the simplest recipes are green smoothies. Making yourself a mug of green smoothie in the morning, nothing can be better. I discovered it 2 years ago. Before that, I made fruit and berry smoothies for myself, but they were too sweet for me. But green ones are just what you need! In addition, like many others, it is quite difficult for me to eat the required amount of fresh vegetables and greens during the day. And I replenish this volume through smoothies. The basis of green smoothies is salad. Any kind of salad to your taste.
Fortunately, there are no problems with this all year round. Choose the types of salads that you like, that you find tasty to eat. Iceberg, arugula, lettuce. It can also be spinach. Add green vegetables to it: cucumbers, celery, you can also try bell peppers. Do not be afraid to experiment with flavors. The most important thing is to find the combination of products that will be pleasant to your taste.
Over the past two years, I have tried many combinations and have chosen for myself those ingredients whose taste I like - juicy, sweet pear, fig and peach. Depending on the season, I make myself certain smoothies. I have one more ingredient that I add to my green smoothies - flax seeds. They perfectly normalize the work of the gastrointestinal tract. And also, I always add water to smoothies, regular drinking or carbonated. I like the liquid consistency of smoothies, so that they are easy to drink. But this is my taste preference. Because there are people who drink them like that or eat them with a spoon, as you like. Just like someone likes completely green smoothies made of lettuce, cucumber and celery. They do not need sweet fruits and berries at all. But this is not my option. In the fall, I love adding watermelon and melon to smoothies. In general, I am for seasonality in food. Use seasonal fruits and berries in your diet as much as possible. From time to time, I arrange fasting days on green smoothies. However, due to my busy schedule, I have not yet been able to last the whole day) The last time I finished my day at 18.00, and for dinner I ate light soup with meatballs. But the result of such days is obvious! The skin is clean, fresh, swelling goes away. And the daily habit of drinking a green smoothie in the morning helps to get rid of extra centimeters on the waist and kilograms on the scale. My friends who want to lose weight are very grateful to me for such a healthy and tasty habit - a glass of green smoothie for breakfast. There is one important point, if green smoothies cause discomfort in your gastrointestinal tract, be sure to consult your doctor.
