We can hit our 10,000 steps, meditate and do all the mobility and strength exercises we want but nothing beats nourishing our bodies from the inside out. If the saying you are what you eat is true, then super women eat superfoods.
A modern-day-woman juggles multiple roles - assuming positions of responsibility at the workplace and at the same time looking after household chores.
Hence, it is unsurprising that their daily diet and nutrient consumption cannot keep up with this hectic lifestyle.
In today’s world, it is important for a woman to eat foods that are nutritious, and to stay strong, smart and balanced.
To ensure that they get the extra boost of energy and nutrition, there are certain superfoods that a woman needs to add to her diet such as - quinoa, chia seeds, buckwheat and berries.
To help you become healthy, the team at Krazy Kiwi Kookbox has created the ultimate women’s smoothie recipe that should be on your menu as soon as possible.
Smoothies offer an amazing way to boost your immune system and replenish important vitamins. To make sure you get as many benefits from smoothies, you should not ignore vegetables.
It is easy to load up on fruit as it is sweet and delicious, but for variety and health reasons, you should not forget vegetables when making smoothies.
Things like baby spinach, beetroot, spinach, kale and celery can all be added to smoothies and they add a whole lot of goodness to your diet as well.
One other thing when making smoothies, you should always check the serving size of your smoothie.
