Why Smoothies are Amazing for Disabled People:
- Smoothies are a super quick and easy way to prepare a complete, filling meal (filled with protein, fruit, vegetables, fibre, and healthy fats).
- They are high in calcium which is crucial for people with disabilities who have low bone density.
- You can pack them with extra protein and calories if you are healing from a pressure wound.
- You can add extra fiber to support digestive health and keep your bowels regular (chia seeds, flax meal, or oats are excellent ways to boost fiber in smoothies).
- They’re a great way to sneak in extra fruit and veggies (such as spinach or kale).
- They don’t take a lot of time or energy to make, which makes them a great option for days when you’re in pain or extra fatigued. All you need is a blender, like the Omega blender!
- Smoothies are versatile – there are ENDLESS flavour combos so you can make them everyday and never get bored!
- They’re also made with affordable ingredients (hello frozen fruit!).
