Sometimes we can use smoothies as a substitute for a meal, especially if we are in a hurry or don't have time to eat. I personally do this on days that I have class and don't have time to eat lunch. Smoothies are known for being delicious and nutritious. You can make them at home or buy them from places like Smoothie King. Smoothies are healthy, but there are things you can put in them that can either make them more healthy or less healthy.
For example, according to nutritonfacts.org, you need to make sure you use fresh fruits and vegetables in smoothies and not solely their juice. If you only use their juice, you loose the nutrients and fiber that come in the fruits and veggies. Also elements like flaxseed and spinach can maximize the health benefits in your smoothie. I personally don't like "green" smoothies with veggies in them, but I can still add a green or two to make my smoothie more healthy. And the best part is, I won't even taste it! I will only taste all of the delicious fruits in my smoothie, but will increase the nutritional value.
