Smoothies are undeniably the fastest and easiest way to get your daily nutrients. Fruit smoothies make it easy to nourish your  body with essential nutrients. Making smoothies part of your diet not only help you get vitamins, minerals, enzymes, phytonutrients, and fiber, but they also make the foods more easily digestible because they are blended. Blending a smoothie allows you to use the whole fruit or vegetable so you can make the most of their nutrition…including that all-important element of cleansing fiber.

We LOVE smoothies!!! I drink one every. single. day. seriously! You are so right on the “not all are equal” though! I tend to drink mine in the late morning when I’m feeling hungry and tired, the natural sugar from the fruit I add gives me a perk up, I know that the veggies I add are good for me, proteins keep me full until lunch and I love adding different spices and herbs for some added benefits! Great post!
Right on! These are great everyday drinks, especially during hot summer days! 🙂
