Since I've been on a serious green smoothie kick for the last ... I don't how many months, I decided to do a nutritional analysis of all of the ingredients used. Here's the breakdown for my 'nutty green smoothie'.
4 oz. Organic Acai Juice
4 oz. Organic Carrot Juice
4 oz. Organic Soymilk
1 medium banana
4 oz. (or more) Fresh Dark Leafy Greens
1 Tbsp Flaxseed
1/8 cup almonds
1/2 cup frozen Organic Blueberries
1 cup ice
Serving Size : 32 oz
Servings : 1
Calories: 410
Total Fat: 11g
Cholesterol: 0mg
Sodium: 156mg
Potassium: 752mg
Total Carb: 77g
Total Sugar: 47g
Fiber: 14.6g
Protein: 12.3g
On a 2000 calorie/day intake, the US RDA% for each of the categories listed is:
Calories: 21%
Total Fat:17%
Cholesterol:0%
Sodium:7%
Potassium:16%
Total Carb: 26%
Fiber: 58%
Protein: 25%
So, you're getting a lot of nutrients and fiber, with zero cholesterol and low sodium, all with just 410 calories. Heck, if you drank three of these a day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and had a few healthy snacks in between, you'd be doing just fine, wouldn't you?
To your health! Remember, this is super easy to make. Just throw those ingredients (in the order listed) in a good high-speed blender and simply push the button, pour, and drink. So tasty, so good for you!
