Oh, I can’t wait for summer! I’m totally looking forward to bikini season and the beach. While we’re still waiting, though, we should take time to boost our health and immune system. Here are recipes of 10 healthy shakes that are actually delicious, made using the Ozen Vacuum Blender.
10 Healthy Shakes that are Actually Delicious
To combat fatigue:
10. Avocado Kale Smoothie
1 ¼ cup coconut water
2 cups kale
½ cup avocado
1 frozen banana
2 tsp lemon/lime
Coconut water is a natural source of electrolytes to recharge you naturally.
9. Mango Kale Super Smoothie
2 ½ cup cold milk
1 ½ cup kale
3 cups mango
1 tbsp spirulina (can be reduced depending on taste)
Spirulina is nutrient dense with only 20 Kcal per tablespoon and 4g of protein!
For healthy digestion and improved gut health
8. Mango Yogurt Shake
1 cup yogurt
½ cup mango
1 cup ice
Honey or stevia, to taste
Yogurt is a great source of good bacteria for the gut.
7. Green Yogurt Smoothie
Add 1 cup romaine lettuce and 1 small banana to your Mango Yogurt Shake for added nutrients and flavor.
Immune booster:
6. Apple Lemon Smoothie
1 apple
Juice of 1 lemon
1 frozen banana
1 cup of cold water
Apple is a low glycemic fruit and lemon is a good source of immune-boosting Vitamin C.
Tip: Soak the apples o=in water + baking soda to remove the wax and dirt.
5. Strawberry Banana Smoothie
2 cups strawberries
1 very ripe banana
1 cup milk or water
½ cup ice (optional)
For a healthy liver and kidneys:
4. Anti-inflammatory Green Smoothie
1 cup of spinach
1 cup pineapple chunks
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 cup ice
You can also just add these to your Apple Lemon Smoothie, sans the ice. Tasty!
3. Avocado Cucumber Smoothie
½ avocado
¼ cucumber
1 celery stalk
1 cup cold water
Avocado, cucumber, and celery are all great for the liver.
For detoxification and weight loss:
2. Strawberry Smoothie
1 cup almond or skim milk
1 cup frozen strawberries
1 tbsp ground flax seeds
Strawberries are low in calories, and ground flax seeds are high in fiber and Omega-3. Awesome combination for weight loss!
1. Green Protein Smoothie
1-2 cups kale or baby spinach
½ cup almond milk
1 tbsp almond butter (unsweetened)
If you haven’t noticed, green leafy vegetables are amazing for your health. Smoothies are a great way to consume leafy greens, especially if you think salads are boring (or bland!) Using a vacuum blender like Ozen can definitely help prolong the life of your smoothie and preserve the antioxidants in fruits and vegetables.
