So my love of smoothies is obvious, what is not to love about them. They are completely versatile so you never get bored, you can load in a ton of nutrition in one single glass, and blending helps pre-digest food making it easy to digest and quickly absorb the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, healthy fats, and proteins for the day.
The word detox is a hot word in the world of nutrition, but what does it really mean? In the nutrition industry the word detox has become an all encompassing word that can be loosely used to imply you are removing toxins from your body or going to lose weight. This could look involve changing the way we eat (i.e. a juice cleanse), changing a lifetsyle habit (switching to all green clearners), or just the regular use of a consumer product. Today, if you slap the word “detox” on it, the implication is you will be healthier.
Avocados are a total superfood, once upon a time in the low-fat movement of the 80’s and 90’s people worried about eating them for their high fat content. However, we have come a long way and have a deeper understanding in that not all fats are created equal. Our brain, nervous system, hormones and skin need healthy fats such as the monounsaturated fats in avocados to properly function.
