How to make healthier and tastier Meal Replacement Shakes
#1 OATS
Add 1/4 cup of oats for a long number of health benefits, such as a strengthened immune system, illness prevention, and a longer sensation of fullness.
Additionally, oats add a nice protein:carb balance to your shake for long-lasting energy.
#2 BERRIES
With a handful of antioxidant-rich berries, such as strawberries, cherries, or our favourite for chocolate shakes: blueberries, ward off illness (always a higher risk during the change of seasons!).
Berries keep you hydrated and full of fibre.
#3 GREEK YOGHURT
A smoothie will become creamier and include more calcium, potassium, protein, zinc, and vitamins B6 and B12 if you add 1/2 cup of plain, nonfat Greek yoghurt.
While all plain yoghurt has nutritional advantages, Greek yoghurt has more protein and will help you feel fuller.
It also contains probiotic microorganisms and less lactose than regular yoghurt.
#4 MILK
It’s true that the best calorie- and sugar-free base for meal replacement shakes is water.
But milk is an excellent source of vitamin D if you want to increase your intake.
Your immune system is boosted, your bones are healthy, and depression is prevented by vitamin D.
A great source of protein, calcium, potassium, and other nutrients is milk.
Almond, soy, oat, flax, or rice milk (when fortified and without a lot of added sugar) also makes a nutritious, low-calorie shake foundation if you’re not a huge milk drinker but still want those extra nutrients.
#5 FROZEN BANANAS
Bananas are a tasty source of potassium, dietary fibre, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, which supports immunological and metabolic processes. Normally you will freeze the bananas for a cooling boost to keep the drink from becoming foamy.
#6 CINNAMON
According to WebMD, several studies have discovered that cinnamon lowers blood pressure, reduces inflammation, and even has antioxidant advantages. Although the degree of cinnamon’s health advantages is still up for debate, it’s worth a try — or a pinch — to add a little spice to your shake.
#7 PEANUT BUTTER
We have discovered that our new favourite shake improvement is a spoonful of peanut butter. The 188 calories from a two-tablespoon scoop of peanut butter are offset by the addition of protein, potassium, fibre, magnesium, and other minerals. The Harvard Heart Letter notes that peanut butter is a decent source of necessary healthy fat because it is primarily made up of unsaturated fat.
