What Makes a Healthy Smoothie?

Smoothies can be a healthy addition to your diet and a nutritional powerhouse when done right. So be sure to choose ingredients that provide you with a dose of fiber, vitamins, minerals, protein, and other healthy nutrients to fuel your body.

That said, even the right ingredients can add up to too many calories. Here are some mistakes to avoid:

• Treat your smoothie as a meal, not an addition to a meal. If you include protein powder, yogurt, or nut butters, it likely has ample calories to replace your meal.

• Add fruit mindfully. Too much fruit adds up to extra calories and carbs. Stick to 1-2 cups of fruit per smoothie as a rule of thumb.

• Watch your sweeteners. Maple syrup, honey, agave, coconut sugar, or any other form of added sugar should be used sparingly. Also watch for the added sugars in plant-based milks and yogurts. Ingredients like Açaí and other fruits should provide enough natural sugars to sweeten your smoothie!

• Watch your add-ins. Nut butters, chia seeds and protein powders can be good additions to smoothies. Keep your add-ins in the 100-calorie range (or 2-3 tablespoons).

• Focus on a filling smoothie. Aim for a fiber-rich, protein-rich set of ingredients to fill you up.

High in antioxidants, Açaí can be a fundamental ingredient in a healthy smoothie. Açaí delivers healthy fats and fiber, too! Ready to learn more about  Açaí benefits?
