A number of health professionals these days are touting the health benefits of smoothies. A surprisingly diverse number of healthy, low-calorie foods can be combined to make smoothies including berries, greens (kale, spinach) and yogurt. Strawberries and bananas are quite popular ingredients, which add sweetness and essential vitamins and minerals. Although a smoothie is mostly liquid, it is much more filling than other drinks and will help keep you from feeling hungry between meals. Throw some ice in the blender when making your smoothie to give it that milkshake-style freeze.
