- First Paragraph:
- With a busy schedule, it can be challenging to eat all the foods you need to stay healthy. Smoothies can be a great option for a healthy, on-the-go breakfast, snack, or dessert for kids and adults. The ingredients you choose influence the nutrient content of your smoothie. Not all smoothies are a nutritious choice; some are loaded with sugar, fat, and extra calories. A smoothie that includes ingredients like vegetables, fruits, protein foods, and dairy or dairy alternatives is nutrient-rich and packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants, and more.
