Smoothies are thick shakes or drinks made from fruits or vegetables and other nutritional ingredients.  They are wonderful options for a meal or a snack when made with natural items. Unlike fruit juices which contain concentrates, smoothies retain all the fibre of whole raw fruits and vegetables. And these fibres prevent diseases because they help the body to eliminate waste materials and deadly toxins. Other health benefits of smoothies include:

They aid in digestion and removal of wastes from the body: Fibre in fruits is one of the key factors essential in the elimination of wastes from the body on a regular basis.

It helps with weight loss: When used as part of a low-fat and low-sugar diet, vegetable smoothies provide pure nutrients in the body which help to reduce fats.

It is a healthy substitute for carbonated drinks and snacks: The fibre in smoothies allows the drink to stay with you longer and satisfy you more than coffee, soda, or other carbonated drinks.

Meal replacement: Smoothies are high-nutrient options. If you add small amounts of protein and even some grain to a vegetable smoothie, you can build that drink into a satisfying meal replacement.

They help you stay hydrated: A smoothie for breakfast helps you get hydrated for the day. Since your body gets water from other foods in order to stay hydrated, you won’t have to drink water while you are sipping a smoothie (especially a homemade one without sugar). Milk and yogurt contain a lot of water, so if your smoothie is dairy-based, it’ll reduce your thirst. In a hot weather, add some ice cubes to the blender for extra water.
