Squeezing in a meal can seem impossible on busy days.
Skipping breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Not always a good idea (unless you’re doing an intermittent fast).
Why? Because your body needs nutrients to keep you going.
That’s why I love meal replacement smoothies.
They’re a quick way to get in nutrients, and a smoothie with the right ingredients can fill you up and act as a stand-in for a real meal.
Plus, there are tons of flavor combinations, which helps prevent boredom and falling into the “same-old-same-old” rut.
Ideally your meal replacement smoothie should have both protein and fiber, which work to keep you full and satisfied, among other health benefits. You can also sneak in leafy greens and fruit to add antioxidants and boost the nutrition of your smoothie.
Try out these 13 healthy smoothies for busy people – they’ll not only keep your tastebuds happy but they’ll give your body a balance of vitamins and minerals to get you through your day.
