About Strawberry Smoothie recipe
The strawberry season doesn’t last long, but you can make this drink almost all year long because you find strawberries in the supermarket. If you do not find fresh strawberries, you can try the frozen ones (not the exact taste, but will do). I like the most to drink this kind of smoothie during hot summer days, being a great way to indulge and refresh yourself. Sometimes I replace the morning coffee with it. It has only 3 key ingredients (to learn how to make it, see steps): strawberries, milk, and strawberry yogurt. If desired, you can add some ice to make it even more refreshing.
What are the health benefits of strawberry smoothie?
Due to the high content of minerals (iron, potassium, phosphorus, calcium) and trace elements (zinc, sulfur, iodine), strawberries have tonic properties. The small strawberry seeds prevent constipation and contain soluble fibers that lower cholesterol in the blood. Another advantage of strawberries is the presence of a special sugar (levulose) that is slowly absorbed in the blood, so the Strawberry Smoothie drink is the ideal dessert in weight loss.
As per NDTV.com, the most important health benefits of strawberries are:
- Immunity Booster: About a cup of strawberries a day gives us our daily requirement of Vitamin C, which in return boosts our immunity, and works as a brilliant antioxidant.
- Fights Cancer: Ellagic acid, found in strawberries, is known to control the growth of cancer cells.
- Skin health: Helps in the production of collagen in our body that contributes to the skin’s elasticity.
- Fights cholesterol: Ellagic acid and flavonoids in strawberries protect our hearts from bad cholesterol.
- Anti-inflammatory: Those who are prone to arthritis can benefit from eating strawberries.
- Keeps Blood Pressure in Check: Potassium found in strawberries is known to reduce high blood pressure.
- Controlling type 2 diabetes: being rich in fiber and since fiber helps the blood to absorb sugar, eating strawberries can help with diabetes.
You’re on diet? This is the best option for weight loss!
Smoothie made with Strawberry makes your brain think you have a “full belly” and you’ll skip a snack between meals … or two. But too many words for this weight-loss fact. Instead, look at Ariana Omipi eating Strawberry to lose weight or keep her silhouette.
