THE TOP BASES FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE

Many different elements go into a smoothie’s

The first of these is of course the fruit and this is what is going to give the smoothie most of its flavour and most of its goodness. Then there are added things like water and possibly honey.

But what’s also highly important is that your smoothie contains a base. The base is going to be a fruit or perhaps something else that provides a) a very strong flavor and b) a smooth and creamy texture. Choosing your base will often serve as the first building block of your smoothie which will define the strongest flavour and provide the ‘smoothness’ that gives the drink its name!

THE TOP BASES FOR YOUR SMOOTHIE

But what makes a good base for a smoothie? What options are there? Let’s take a look at some of the best

Banana

Avocado

What’s more, is that avocado is delicious and very creamy. It also happens to be an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acid, which is one of the most impressive nutrients for its ability to improve the communication between cells, combat inflammation and more!

Mango

Mango smoothies are perfect for summers days when you want something really sweet and delicious. Mango is very smooth and has a great texture and it also happens to be a great source of numerous vitamins and minerals. In particular, it is an excellent place to get your vitamin C.

Peanut Butter

Not all your bases have to be fruits and vegetables. An option that is somewhat different is to choose peanut butter, which will provide you with lots of magnesium and zinc, lots of healthy sugar and good helping of protein. This is particularly useful for those looking to build muscle and if you combine it with other protein sources ‘ like protein shake ‘ then it can be highly effective in aiding with muscle building.

Protein Shake

Why not add protein shake itself?

This will add even more protein to your mixture and will also often add a lot of delicious flavour. Note that a lot of protein shakes are high in fats and carbs, so you should check the back of your shake before you add it to your healthy drink. Choose a plain whey protein and then add your own flavour instead by making it into a delicious smoothies !
