Why It Works
  • The frozen berries in the smoothie are a good source of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Antioxidants help to protect your cells from damage, and they may also help to reduce your risk of some chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.
  • The avocado in the smoothie is a good source of healthy fats, fiber, and potassium. Healthy fats help to keep you feeling full and satisfied, and they may also help to lower your cholesterol levels. Fiber is important for digestive health, and it may also help to reduce your risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
  • The almond milk in the smoothie is a good source of calcium and vitamin D. Calcium is essential for strong bones and teeth, and vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Water is added to the smoothie to thin it out and make it easier to drink.
  • The chia seeds in the smoothie are a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Fiber is important for digestive health, protein helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, and omega-3 fatty acids are important for heart health.
  • The ground cinnamon in the smoothie adds a warm and spicy flavor. Cinnamon is also a good source of antioxidants.
  • The vanilla extract in the smoothie adds a sweet and flavorful flavor. Vanilla extract is also a good source of antioxidants.
