Smoothies are the perfect blend of satisfying nutrients to fill you up when you’re working out or needing a 3 p.m. snack. But when the weather turns cold, do you really want to be sipping on an ice-cold drink?
I shared some tips on my Instagram stories on how you can still enjoy smoothies in the cooler months.
1. Add warming spices: cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, cloves, allspice
2. Add in seasonal vegetables like pumpkin, squash or sweet potato
3. Warm your smoothie on the stovetop
All of these tips are great for digestion too!
