Day 10- Apple – Almond Blast
Want a smoothie that leaves you yearning for more? The apple/almond/ginger blast perfectly fits that bill. Let’s see how to prepare it easy and fast.
Ginger has a lovely flavor and is also one of the best ingredients to take if you have inflammation. If you have organic ones, you’ll need to cut it into smaller pieces for more enhanced benefits and flavor. If you are not used to it, consider starting with just a bit of it to minimize chances of upsetting your stomach.
You may also want to add a nutty flavor in the smoothie if you’ve got some flaxseeds.
Despite adding sweetness, apples are antioxidants with Vitamin C. They also help in lowering blood sugar. Also, with their high fiber content, expect to enjoy a boost in your digestion.
You may sprinkle some cinnamon in to add creaminess that will warm you from inside out.
If you want to keep your appetite further in check, almonds will do the trick. They are extremely low in calories yet very high in antioxidant which makes them suitable ingredients for smoothies for weight loss. They also play a critical role in preventing damage of cells in your body.
Cucumbers are also a great addition to this smoothie recipe to hydrate your body all day long.
