Smoothies are an excellent way to get nutrients your body needs as well as have a tasty alternative to unhealthy snacks! They’re also easy to blend up and drink, making them your ideal on-the-go solution to skipping your morning breakfast. Smoothies are great any time or day and can provide your body with the benefits of apples!
Apples are high in vitamin C, fiber, and contain healthy antioxidants to combat free radicals that could contribute to cancer formation and chronic disease. Apples can also help reduce your risk of diseases such as diabetes and heart disease! Their high-fiber content helps to keep you full, and their complex carbohydrates prevent your body from crashing like it does after eating refined sugar snacks. Choose organic apples for even more benefits!
Here are some of the best apple smoothie recipes to start your day, your workout, or your new health regimen!
