Treat yourself to a tropical smoothie
Smoothies are a great way to use up any leftover fruit or veg, and this high protein, high fibre recipe is deliciously simple. It’s tasty, quick to prepare and good for you too. What’s not to like?
Why it’s good for you
Smoothies can be an effective way to increase fibre in your diet. Fibre helps your body regulate sugar levels, so it’s beneficial for people with diabetes. Fibre also adds bulk to the foods that you eat, which increases your sense of fullness. This can help you eat fewer calories and increase weight loss. Finally, fibre assists healthy bowel function and helps to lower cholesterol.
