The benefits to smoothies are endless! They are a nutritious breakfast that gives you a great start to your day. It gives you energy to keep going all day long (kids too!). Smoothies are a great way to get more nutrients in your diet with endless options – nuts, fruits, veggies – all the goodies.

✔️ Prevents Hydration
Did you know about 70 percent of your body is made of water? Well, having smoothies along with your breakfast is a great way to replenish the loss of water in your body, especially during the warmer months.

✔️ Helps Sleep Disorders
Feeling tired and restlessness? A nutrient dense breakfast paired with a smoothie made of bananas, almonds, and oats provides calcium and magnesium in good amounts. This induces sleep and helps maintain healthy sleeping patterns.

✔️ Helps you Lose Weight
No need to skip meals for this one! The fruits, berries and nuts that are used to prepare these delicious treats are excellent companions for keeping your body and mind healthy. The mono unsaturated fat found in almonds prevents over eating and the dietary fibre contributes to the sensation of being full.
