"RD Reveals the Truth About Smoothies as a Balanced Breakfast"

Whether a smoothie can replace a meal depends on its ingredients. A well-rounded smoothie should include carbs, protein, fat, and fiber to promote satiety, blood sugar stability, and good energy levels. Adding liquid options like milk or juice, nuts/seeds/nut butter, dairy or dairy alternatives, protein powder, and frozen fruits/veggies can enhance the nutritional value of a smoothie and make it a satisfying, nutrient-packed breakfast option.
