Breakfast Smoothies for a Bipolar Diet
Smoothies are definitely a trend in nutrition. Thirty years ago, very few people made smoothies, but now they are the norm.
Smoothies are an excellent way of eating foods that you really don’t want to eat, such as kale, spinach, parsley, and Swiss chard. It would get awfully boring if you had to eat these foods daily in a salad, but by blending them together in a blender with fruit, you now have accomplished one of the most difficult goals – getting your daily servings of fruits and vegetables for a healthy Bipolar diet.
