Good Smoothies Are NutrientDense & Contain Fat The best smoothies are made with natural, all real, nutrientdense ingredients that provide vitamins and oils necessary for good more complete nutrition. Fat is required for biological functions and is burned by your body for energy. A truly healthy smoothie should have some dietary fat for the body to use in assimilating the vitamins. Simply blending a banana with ice and
skim milk does provide a great deal of benefits or nutrients. Smoothies Help Keep You Hydrated A smoothie for breakfast helps you get hydrated for the day, something soda and coffee won't do. Since your body pulls water from many foods in order to stay hydrated, you won't have to drink water when you're sipping on a smoothie (especially a homemade one without sugar). Milk and yogurt are largely water, so if your smoothie is dairy-based, you'll quench your thirst. In hot weather, add some ice cubes to the blender for extra water. The best way to get nutrition is from food, and consuming a healthful smoothie every day gives you most of your nutrition in one proven, delicious dosage.
