Tess is a recipe developer and smoothie expert. She joins Donna in this episode to talk all about the many benefits of smoothies, tips to improve your recipes as well as the common mistakes people make when adding smoothies to improve their health. Donna and Tess also talk about the importance of looking for credible sources of information and taking a personal approach to everything you do regarding health and diet.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most fruits are cooling which makes them hydrating but you can be mindful about adding things to your smoothies to warm the body, such as ginger and cinnamon.
- You can make great savoury smoothies which are essentially cold soups.
- Smoothies can be a great solution for those who have allergies and sensitivities because you choose every element that you add into it and can tailor it to your specific needs.
- Adding lemon or lime juice to your smoothies, helps to elevate and lift their flavours, especially in ones which are savoury based.
- Think about the flavour profiles in your favourite foods and translate this into your smoothie making.
- It’s important to test if you are sensitive to oxalates, you can do this by having a food high in them and watch for your responses.
- We all need good education around smoothies, to ensure we are choosing the rigth elements and ingredients for us. For example, many people would react to chia seeds unknowingly, flax seeds are a great alternative.
- There is a lot of misinformation out there that promises quick wins and solutions but the articles actually have no real content or credible information.
