Final Recommendations

Avoid adding sugar and sweeteners to your drinks. Try to enjoy the sweet taste that some foods already have, like papaya and banana.

If you are adding a touch of honey or agave syrup, try to stay in moderation. Half a teaspoon can be enough for 1 glass.

On the other hand, never consume these drinks as substitutes for main meals. Remember that they are one more complement to your diet.

Do not stop consuming pieces of natural fruit by consuming smoothies or otherwise, you will not be taking advantage of all the contributions that the fruit can provide you.

What’s more, consume these drinks a maximum of twice a day and remember that you should not only rely on the consumption of these natural shakes to stay healthy, but also on other good lifestyle habits, such as exercise.

If you have questions about how to lead a healthy lifestyle, consult your GP. And when it comes to diet, you can consult a nutritionist.
