The Carbs
Having a balance of Carbs, fat and protein is important to building any kind of healthy meal.
The same is true for your smoothies.
Adding more greens than fruit can really pack a nutritious punch.
But some people have to work to acquire a taste for greens over time.
Experiment and try to get as much green in as you can.
Spinach and kale are excellent sources of iron and great to use in Green smoothies. But don't be afraid to mix it up with Swiss chard, parsley, or other interesting greens.
Fruit is often added to keep it sweet. Bananas and pineapples are great naturally sugary fruits that can enhance your smoothie's flavor. Berries have lower sugar content.
Some people add sweeteners, but it is up to you. You don't want to add so much sugar or sweeteners, that you undo the health benefits.
