When is a Smoothie Worth it?

Smoothies are quick and can be completely nutritious with all the superfoods you can sneak into the mix. But beware of retail smoothies, says Love + Blueberries, because they are no strangers to refined sweeteners, ice cream and sweetened frozen yogurt. The best way to enjoy smoothies and benefit nutritionally, then, is to make them yourself. At minimum, all you need is a blender, a handful of fruit and some unpasteurized juice. Add some veggies, nuts, seeds and a bunch of other wholesome add-ins, and a smoothie is definitely worth it.
