Smoothies are progressively becoming quite fashionable within society these days. Many people are taking their daily smoothies in beautifully crafted glass bottles and enjoying their many health benefits. Smoothies are generally great for us because they are easily absorbed by the body, which means that they are a great way to get all of the nutrients from foods directly ingested without much complication.

When you mix specific ingredients together in a blended form, they work as super smoothies — simultaneously fueling and cleansing your body with the best things to give you more energy and vitality. More and more people are realizing that smoothies are a great contribution for a daily healthy lifestyle: they are easily digested, they offer abundant and varying tastes, and they provide an appetizing alternative to common junk foods like milkshakes, ice-cream, etc.

A smoothie only takes around 5 minutes to make — give or take a few minutes depending on the type of smoothie. With everyone being so busy these days, there is no longer the excuse of not having enough time for your health. Respect yourself enough to know that you deserve the best, and tell yourself that each day!

Before you decide to make smoothies a part of your life, it would be wise to invest in a great blender, like VitaMix, so that you will be able to mix all of your ingredients smoothly without damaging the blades. That being said, we all want to find things that make us better and healthier, so here are the top 3 super smoothies to jump-start your day!

 

*For each smoothie (which makes one serving per cup), put the ingredients into the blender, mix at a high speed, and pour into your cup of choice to enjoy!
