3 smoothies to start the day with energy

Never have time for breakfast? One option to avoid leaving home on an empty stomach is to opt for a smoothie, which you can prepare in just a few minutes and is convenient to consume at any time. 

While smoothies are a practical option for when you're short on time, it's important to consider the ingredients, as mixing many fruits can increase sugar consumption without boosting nutrient intake. 

Here are three smoothie recipes to start your day with energy:

Avocado Delight
This drink contains potassium, fiber, essential fatty acids, and a high concentration of vitamins.
  • 2 slices of pineapple
  • 1 cup of spinach
  • 1 avocado
  • ½ cup of almond milk
Vitamin C Shot
This smoothie will provide you with an excellent source of vitamins A and C, helping to boost your immune system, prevent colds, prolong your eye health, and enhance your beach tan.
  • 1 cup of orange juice or two seedless oranges
  • 1 carrot
  • The juice of one lemon
  • 1 cup of pineapple
  • 1 cup of ice
Green Detox
A version of green juice, known for its detoxifying properties, which will be
more refreshing (than other recipes) and just as healthy.
  • 4 leaves of kale
  • 1 bunch of spinach
  • 1 cucumber sliced
  • 2 yellow lemons
  • 2 stalks of celery
Tip: Remember that a smoothie or juice does not replace a full meal; consider it just as a complement to what you eat throughout the day.
