In the past years, the use of blended drinks to promote a healthier lifestyle has been a popular choice for everyone—from fitness coaches to regular people who are trying to live healthy. It is true that blended drinks help you increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables (and their nutrients!) but when it is not done right, you may just be wasting your ingredients and your money. Here is a list of how you can maximize the benefits of your blended drinks:
Drink it on an empty stomach.
Drinking your blend on an empty stomach makes sure that the nutrients are absorbed well. Therefore, it will keep you full before your next meal. It also keeps your body energized because blended drinks are easy to digest and are meant for breaking the “fast” you did during your sleep.
Make sure to drink it within 20 minutes.
Fresh air hits the enzymes in a blended drink, which makes them expire and lose their nutritional value quicker. So if you are planning to prepare your drink overnight, it’s best to keep them in the freezer or refrigerated until you’re planning to consume them.
