All Day Hydration
- Smoothies contain a high percentage of water (or liquid), so they will help you stay hydrated throughout your day!
Lighter Digestion
- By mixing all the ingredients together for a smoothie in a blender, they are converted into a type of digestive fiber and enzymes that help the body absorb vitamins and micronutrients more effectively.
Accelerate your Metabolism and Detoxify the Body
- Fiber and Protein have another very special function: it accelerates your metabolism. With the right ingredients, your smoothie can pack a large amount of protein and fiber, giving you an instant boost of energy to carry out all your tasks for the day, as well as help keep you full longer. The fiber and easily digestible ingredients can also support healthy bowel movements which help pull toxins out of the body.
Boost Mental Health and Performance
- Smoothies, made of fruits and vegetables, are rich in vital nutrients to support overall health. For example, smoothies containing coconut water or coconut milk have high doses of fiber, electrolytes and magnesium which support hydration and brain health.

- Smoothies make great after workout snacks. They provide hydration, salts and minerals the body needs to recover after exercise.
