When our body does not have important nutrients that it needs the body cannot metabolize foods properly. Drinking smoothies is a great way to pack tons of nutrients into one drink. A smoothie a day helps keep the doctor away! Find out all about smoothies in this presentation and how you can make them part of your daily diet.
2. WHY INCLUDE DAILY
SMOOTHIES?
When our body does not have important nutrients that it
needs the body cannot metabolise foods properly, and we
tend to experience the following:
Weight gain
Food allergies
Anxiety, depression, mood changes
Belly bloat, IBS, or constipation
Low energy, stamina
Low sex drive
3. KEY POINTS
Pack in a lot of nutrients all at once
Easy to digest
Give your digestion a break, leaving more
energy for you
Increase energy
Kick sugar cravings
4. IMPORTANCE OF
SMOOTHIES
Smoothies are:
Chock full of vitamins, enzymes, and minerals
Easy to digest, which means optimal assimilation of nutrients
Great for stabilizing blood sugar (you will see each smoothie here has a
healthy fat, and fat is key for blood sugar stabilization)
A great way to consume a variety of different fruits or vegetables at one
time
Terrific for cleansing the body of toxicity
An easy way to add more fibre to your diet for optimal bowel function
6. WHY BLEND YOUR
SMOOTHIE
The health of your body depends on your digestion. When you
blend your foods, you are supporting digestion.Your body does
not have to work so hard to break down the nutrients, as they
are in a pre-digestible state.
Did you know that 80% of your energy is spent digesting and
assimilating your nutrients?
Instead of having to prepare and eat cup after cup of healthy
greens or fruits, you are packing them into one nutrient-dense
smoothie.
7. 5 SMOOTHIE STEPS
1. Choose the liquid – water, coconut water, or dairy-free milk
2. Choose your greens – kale, spinach, parsley, Swiss chard,
collards, or lettuce
3. Choose your fruit – banana, apple, berries, mango or leave out
the fruit
4. Choose your fat/protein – hemp seeds, protein powder, nut
butters, avocado, coconut oil, flax or chia seeds
5. Add a superfood – maca, raw cacao, bee pollen, shredded
coconut, goji berries or any other of your choosing
8. SMOOTHIE BENEFITS
Nutrient absorption
Decreased food allergies
Good digestion

9. SMOOTHIES & IMMUNITY
When our bodies have the proper nutritional foundation,
this in turn supports our immune system.
Smoothies are an excellent source of a multitude of vitamins
and nutrients in just one simple glass per day.
Increasing fruit and vegetables that are high in antioxidants
will boost immunity as well.

11. BIO-INDIVIDUALITY
Bio-individuality is the idea that each of us is different and that
no two bodies are alike.This is why some people thrive on
vegetarian diets, while others need meat; or why some people
can do 100% raw foods, while others need cooked meals in order
to attain and maintain optimal health.
If you are a cool-bodied person by nature, you can add
warming spices to your smoothie to improve digestion and
nutrient assimilation. Try using cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger,
turmeric, or cayenne. I suggest starting with a dash and then
increasing to 1/2 teaspoon.
If you are a warm-bodied person by nature, you can add in
cooling spices, such as mint, coriando or cardamom.
