In this episode, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, a registered nurse, and certified health coach, for an enlightening chat on the world of smoothies. They dive deep into the significance of knowing what goes into your smoothie because, let's face it, not all smoothies are created equal. They underscore the potential benefits of smoothies, such as aiding digestion, supporting weight loss, and boosting immunity.
A standout point from the episode is the spotlight on fiber. Fruits and vegetables in smoothies are a fantastic source of fiber, which is a boon for regular bowel movements and flushing out toxins. They also shed light on how smoothies' energy and digestive perks make them a great choice for athletes.
The conversation even steers toward the differences between smoothies and juicing. While both have their advantages, smoothies, made with whole fruits and vegetables, pack in the additional benefits of fiber, fat, and protein. Saranne and Jacqui share handy tips on whipping up nutritious smoothies, including using natural sweeteners like dates and berries, managing sugar content with fats and proteins, and adding ingredients like almond butter, chia seeds, and coconut milk.
But they don't stop there. They also guide listeners on a few important considerations to be mindful of. They caution that consuming excess calories is easy if you're drinking a smoothie alongside a meal. They suggest removing certain parts of fruits, such as rinds and seeds and emphasize the importance of adding fats, proteins, and fibers to increase the feeling of fullness.
