Smoothies are thick drinks made from grated fruits, vegetables, herbs with a variety of additives: dairy products, cereals, nuts and seeds. Such a breakfast for every day is especially good for those who follow their figure. Since smoothies are mostly liquid, they perfectly cleanse the intestines, stimulate the digestion process and normalize the water-salt balance in the body. But, despite the liquid consistency, such cocktails should be consumed slowly, holding a sip for a while in the mouth. Do not forget that the process of digestion begins in our mouth. So you don’t need to drink smoothies quickly, in one gulp. Nutritionists do not recommend completely replacing traditional breakfasts with smoothies. Liquid food leaves the teeth without work, disrupting their natural self-cleaning process, which leads to the growth of pathogenic bacteria. The most optimal is 2-3 smoothie breakfasts per week. Instead of scrambled eggs – egg smoothie Ingredients. 1 cup almond milk 1 egg (or 2 tablespoons egg powder) 1 banana 1 tbsp. l. nut butter, ice cubes (optional). Instruction. Mix all ingredients (except ice), then grind in a blender. Put ice cubes. Commentary by nutritionist Ekaterina Belova. Such a cocktail is rich in proteins and carbohydrates, it will give you a feeling of satiety for a long time. Moreover, it will cheer you up: after all, a banana contains the protein tryptophan, which is necessary for the synthesis of the hormone of pleasure – serotonin. I note that in this form it is more suitable for vegetarians. For everyone else, I would advise you to slightly change the recipe – instead of almond milk, take regular low-fat milk. As an option, fermented milk products – kefir or yogurt (up to 1.5%). The smoothie also contains a raw egg. I do not advise adding eggs without heat treatment anywhere unless you are sure of their absolute safety. Don’t overdo the nut butter yet. With excess body weight, this component is best excluded. Instead of pancakes with syrup – smoothies “Banana Pancakes” Ingredients. 1 cup skim milk 1/2 banana 1/4 cup almond flour 1 tbsp. l. wheat germ, 1/2 tbsp. l. кленового сиропа, 1/ 4 ч. l. cinnamon. Instruction. Mix all ingredients and grind in a blender. Commentary by a nutritionist. Milk – a source of protein and calcium, banana – carbohydrates and fiber, wheat germ – vitamins and minerals minerals. Almond flour is also rich in protein. This smoothie is a great breakfast option and a healthier alternative to regular pancakes. The only thing I would advise is to be careful with maple syrup. It contains a lot of sucrose.
