Spring is a wonderful season full of sunshine and positive vibes but it is also a period of asthenia and of immunity challenges that can really mess up with our routine. Immunity and energy levels are closely linked and while the controversies that exist around supplements and vitamins can make us suspicious we can always choose to eat foods that give us the necessary intake to feel great. Check out the following post for some tasty smoothie recipes that will boost your energy levels in no time!
Smoothie for Energy: Recipes
Kiwi Blueberries Smoothie
Ingredients
- 150 ml light natural yogurt
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 kiwis
- 100 g dried blueberries
Preparation: Remove the skin from the kiwi and mix it with the rest of the ingredients. You can then serve the smoothie simple or if you want, you can add honey. We recommend taking it in the morning as this mixture contains a lot of vitamins. The kiwifruit helps with the good functioning of the nervous and circulatory systems.
Sweet Temptation Chocolate Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 medium bar of dark chocolate
- 2 scoops of vanilla or strawberry ice cream
- 1 glass of semi-skimmed milk
Preparation: Melt the chocolate bar in the bain-marie. Once the chocolate is liquid, mix it with the milk and ice, and mix until you get a creamy texture. Chocolate makes our bodies release endorphins- the hormone of happiness- and that contributes to the general well-being. In addition, it contains antioxidants that help to avoid heart problems and give energy to your body.
