Heelou our dear Steemians,

hope you are fine, and as we are, waiting for spring and summer to come soooon ;)

we just got this "little black beast" which will keep us fresh and healthy for the next couple of months... I would say years, but who am I kiding ?!

To be honest with you, at the beginning I had no clue what should I mix or what should I don't mix. I am also a person who like to experiment with new things alone and I am also pretty lucky that I and my boyfriend are not that selective when it comes to food :)
I would like to share with you some helpful tips that helped me on my smoothie journey:)

But first I want to share with you two very important things you should know:
People usually start to drink smoothies because we think that they are healthy. That is true, BUT smoothie we like the most are the smoothies made of fruit, yogurt, oatmeal and so on...

Here is problem number 1.:

too many fruits give our body too many sugar to process and if we do not consume that energy, it simply stays in our body, to be specific in our body parts where we really do not want it to be :)

Problem number 2 that may occur :

smoothie is fluid type of food, we don't need to bite it. But on the other way, number and time of biting tell our brain that we ate and we can stop eating.

So as you can see, there is a very thin boundary between healthy vs. too many calories!

That is why I personally always suggest mixing both fruits and vegetables. Actually, for me, the essence is vegetable and because I am not gonna lie to you, is really hard to drink just mixed spinach :) :) I simply cover the taste with somethink more sweet (fruit).
So my magic formula for healthy eating and to obey the possibility to drink thousands of calories because of fruit sugars is following:

THE FORMULA: 2/3 types of vegetables + 1/2 types of fruit/fruit juice + water

Will be back soon with more practical technicalities but until then,

stay strong!
