PROS
This smoothie is full of antioxidants from the strawberries and blueberries which help protect our body from free radical damage.
The skim milk and yogurt provide a source of calcium for strong bones and protein for muscle growth and repair.
This makes it a great breakfast or snack option for people on-the-go or those trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
It’s also quick and easy to make with only 4 ingredients needed.
CONS
While the recipe calls for skim milk and low-fat yogurt, the calorie count can still increase if additional ingredients such as honey or sugar are added.
Those with lactose intolerance may need to substitute the skim milk and yogurt for a non-dairy alternative.
This smoothie may not be filling enough to be consumed as a meal replacement, and a balanced diet is still important.
HEALTH & BENEFITS
Strawberries have been shown to reduce inflammation in our body, while blueberries can improve brain function and memory. Both of these fruits are low in calories, yet high in fiber which aids in digestion and can help with weight management.
