What can you put in your healthy smoothie? These 5 ingredients give your smoothie (and you) a healthy boost.
Wheatgrass
You can add wheatgrass juice to a juice or drink it as a single shot. Our body is not made to digest grass, but it does digest the juice of this grass well. The juice is one of the richest natural sources of vitamins A, B complex, B12, C, E and K. And it also contains calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, sulfur, cobalt, zinc and selenium.
Spirulina Spirulina is a blue-green algae that, among other things, purifies the blood and stimulates internal cleaning and the removal of waste. Spirulina is available in tablet or powder form; a teaspoon of this powder in your juice is enough for a good daily dose.
Royal Jelly Royal Jelly, also known as Royal Jelly, is a unique bee substance that is rich in vitamins and minerals. It has a revitalizing effect and improves metabolism. It contains, among others:vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B8, B9, B12, C, 30 different amino acids and trace elements such as iron, chromium, manganese, calcium, copper, phosphorus and silicon. It is a rare commodity that is mined by hand and is therefore quite expensive. You can find it at the drugstore and in health food stores.
Krill oil Krill oil is made from krill:a floating mass of microscopic, shrimp-like sea creatures. They feed on omega-3 rich algae. In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, krill contains vitamin A, vitamin E, astaxanthin, flavonoids and choline; a substance that plays a role in transmitting nerve impulses that control muscles, sleep, concentration and memory.
Probiotics Probiotics are bacteria that improve the balance in the gut. A probiotic is therefore actually a microbiological food supplement. The most commonly used probiotics are lactic acid bacteria (which are mainly found in yogurt drinks), for example lactobacilli or bifidobacteria. There are capsules, tablets and powders on the market that contain probiotics.
