If you make it correctly, you can consume a lot of nutrients that your body needs with a glass of the mixture. However, most people prepare it wrong and there is one thing that should be changed.
The mixture is a useful snack between larger meals, which you for satiate for a short time and from it you get the nutrients your body needs. However, because of the way in which you probably also prepare it, you do not achieve the desired effect, say nutritionists.
The key is in the proper balance between foods. Most people actually exaggerates the amount of fruit in the mixture, which is a source of sugar known to have high glycemic index – that means you're going to be a mess satiated for a short time and will raise blood sugar levels, which will then plummet and you will be hungry again.
According to nutritionists, the amount of sugar in the mixture can be so large that it is comparable to the amount found in carbonated drinks. With the difference that they are found in a mixture natural sugars, which you must nevertheless enjoy in limited quantities. The problem should also be that many people at all do not include vegetables in such drinks, which creates an appropriate balance between foods.
Even if the main ingredient of the mixture is fruit, it can you prepare the mixture, which is very nutritious. And these are some advice from nutritionists.
- Instead of fruit juice, it is recommended that you can use plain or coconut water. If such a mixture is not to your taste (because it is not creamy), you can use milk substitutes such as drinks from oats, almonds or diža. However, you should not overdo it with such drinks, as they contain a lot of sugar.
- Nutritionists say that in principle you cannot go wrong with the amount of vegetables in the mixture, but for a balanced drink it is recommended to mix two cups of vegetables and just one cup of fruit.
- Into a mess add the seeds as well, which should be rich in fiber, healthy fats and proteins. Flax, chia and hemp seeds are said to be the best, but the recommended amount is half a tablespoon, because calories can quickly add up.
- If you want to enjoy a creamy mixture, you can also add it Greek yogurt, which contains proteins and probiotics, but the most a tablespoon. Nutritionists advise against its use sweetened yogurts because of the incredibly high amount of sugar.
