What are the smoothie’s health benefits?
Peaches are packed with antioxidants, which boost the immune system’s ability to fight infection. Antioxidants can also help prevent oxidative stress and the production of cell-damaging free radicals.
Packed with antioxidants, peaches can help reduce your risk of chronic illnesses like Alzheimer’s and heart disease. The riper and fresher the peach, the more antioxidants it boasts.
They’re also high in fibre, which aids digestion, and contain iron and zinc to boost immune system function. Plus, they’re a great source of potassium, which helps regulate heart rate, cholesterol levels, and blood pressure.
Kendall Jenner’s smoothie recipe includes coconut milk, cream, and yoghurt. Coconut meat is rich in fibre, which promotes digestion, weight management, and gut health.
It also contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a saturated fat that’s easier for the body to digest than animal fats. MCTs can be converted into ketone bodies, potentially helping with diabetes and heart disease.
Aloe vera juice can clear skin, reduce acne, flush out toxins and promote overall detoxification. It’s been used in traditional medicine to lower blood sugar in diabetics.
Goji berries are amino acid-rich, providing energy, combating tiredness and stress, and improving memory, concentration, and mood. Used in traditional Chinese medicine for millennia, they’ve been used to treat eye, liver, and kidney ailments, as well as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and fatigue.
Kombucha, a sweetened fermented tea, is packed with probiotics that can boost gut health, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. It’s also rich in antioxidants, which can help minimise inflammation, bolster the immune system, and decrease DNA damage.
This fizzy drink is brimming with vitamins and trace minerals such as thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin B12, and it’s low in fat and sodium. On the other hand, maple syrup is loaded with antioxidants and phenolic compounds that can help to curb inflammation throughout the body.
It’s also abundant in minerals like manganese and zinc, which can contribute to brain health and cardiovascular disorders. However, it’s worth noting that maple syrup is high in sugar, which can cause tooth decay and pose health risks for people with diabetes.
