Summer is here. And so is the scorching heat and dehydration. The body sweats in the heat and eventually loses a lot of water. And this is exactly why we need to keep replacing the lost water with fluids to keep the body hydrated and healthy. Since summer brings an array of fruits and vegetables that everyone loves, replacing the lost sweat with juices and smoothies isn’t much of a dilemma.
Summer and smoothies go hand in hand. Smoothies are drinks made from fruits and vegetables of your choice. They are healthy, encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables and, most importantly, they are packed with nutrients – fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals and fiber. They also help control food cravings by being a meal replacement.
