Smoothies can be healthy. They can also be unexpectedly high in calories. In order to make sure that your smoothie is healthy without being a diet-buster, try these tips.
- Consider adding a half cup of spinach or kale. It won't drastically change flavor, but it will add nutrients and extra fiber without many extra calories.
- Add a few tablespoons of ground rolled oats to add bulk without a lot of calories.
- Toss in cinnamon or cocoa powder, which doesn't have much calories and allows for a stronger flavor boost without extra sugar.
- Base your smoothie off of 4 ounces of skim, lowfat, soy, or almond milk and 4 ounces of nonfat or lowfat yogurt, which will add less sugar than fruit juice.
