How A Smoothie Maker Could Help You Eat More Healthily
I am going to let you in on a secret about an useful kitchen gadget, the smoothie maker – use it to make homemade smoothies and you will be healthier, more energetic and revitalised. I will also tell you where you can go to get all the information you need about the best smoothie makers on the market and where you can buy them at the best prices online.

We all know that we should eat more fruit and vegetables. We all know that we should be eating five helpings of fruits and vegetables every day. How can we encourage everyone in the family to eat more healthily? An easy solution is to combine some of these extra portions of vegetables and fruit and make ourselves health-giving smoothies, which not only make a speedy snack, but which will also be enjoyed by every member of the family.

So why isn’t everyone eating the recommended number of fruit and veg. portions?
Probably most of us would answer that it is too difficult. We lead busy, rushed lives and it is not always easy to make time for healthy, home-cooked meals. It is not easy either, to get children to eat healthily as fruits and vegetables are not usually top on their list when they get in from school. They just need filling up – and quickly, so they often choose inappropriately and go for convenience rather than nutrition.

What can we do about it?
Get a smoothie maker! Having a smoothie maker at home can be an absolute life-saver (possibly quite literally, bearing in mind the long-term health benefits of drinking smoothies). If you get one of the great smoothie blenders available, you can have a delicious, nutritious smoothie prepared in just about the same time as it takes to raid the cookie jar!

Why are smoothies so good for us?
Because they are packed with the goodness of the whole fruit, all the vitamins, minerals, bioflavinoids, antioxidants, soluble fiber and insoluble fiber and all this goodness is blended so it is easy for our bodies to digest. Nothing is taken away, nothing is lost through oxidisation because you drink your smoothie straight away. Ready made smoothies, bought instore, taste good but not only are they much more expensive than making home-made, many also contain preservative or have been treated to give them a longer life on the shelf. With home-made smoothies, you get nothing but the whole fruit goodness, mixed with the beneficial elements of probiotic yogurt or other liquid you choose to mix with it.

So will I really feel better if I drink smoothies?
Smoothies will not only boost your energy levels by helping to iron out highs and lows in your blood sugar levels, but they will also give you vitamins and minerals your body needs for optimum health. Your skin will be clearer and brighter, your hair and nails will be healthier and by using low-calorie ingredients such as yogurt as your mixer, you can use low-calorie smoothies as part of your weight loss plan too.
