wholesome Smoothie Recipes to Help Curb Your Sweet Tooth

I confess. I am a confirmed smoothie junkie. What's more, I am easily proud of it.

When I began experimenting with truly wholesome smoothie recipes a few years ago, I noticed that
my near obsessive desire for sweets began to subside. And my energy level began to soar.

Healthy

Now, I easily prefer the taste of a freshly-made smoothie to that of a sugar-filled milkshake or malt any day. The key to curbing those refined sugar cravings is to feed your body an abundance of
vitamins and minerals, along with several servings of plainly sweet foods daily.

Yes, kicking the sugar habit will take commitment. And a petite work. But it's right on doable.
Here are a few wholesome smoothie recipes to help you get started:

1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks

1/2 banana

Ginger is a grand root that helps to soothe the stomach. I have used it myself many times to help keep nausea at bay. Some experts also claim that ginger can help to ease the symptoms of arthritis.

Hawaiian Smoothie

1 cup cubed peeled pineapple

2 cups cubed ripe mango; peeled

1 ripe banana peeled and cut into chunks

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 tsp. Extra-virgin coconut oil

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth.

Bananas are very high in plant protein. They are a good source of vitamins A, B1, B2 and niacin. Yogurt is a calcium-rich food that boosts the digestive system.

1 1/2 cups seeded and chopped honeydew melon

1 1/2 cups ripe papaya

1 cup guava nectar

1 cup ice cubes

Watermelon is rich in provitamin A, potassium and zinc, which some experts say helps combat impotence. Papayas are a good source of both beta carotene and vitamin C.
