Recent studies of Vit E have found that it improves mental performance and appears to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s and slow its progression. Definitely worth a daily dose! Our Favourite Smoothies to Mix with Almond Milk
Almond milk works beautifully with our classic flavours, and we would also heartily recommend using it for our shakes ! (heartily? See what we’ve done there?)Soya ‘milk’ is made from soaking and grinding soya beans, and it has been a traditional part of the Asian diet for thousands of years. The beans are typically soaked overnight, their skins are then removed before being blended with water and strained. The remaining liquid or ‘mylk’ is then heated before being cooled and stored. Health Benefits of Soya Milk Nevertheless, the finding that it reduced cholesterol as effectively as a statin drug is very impressive and should lead to further research. Our Favourite Smoothies to mix with Coconut Water Drinking coconut water may be helpful to reduce heart disease risk. In one study, researchers fed two sets of rats a similar diet but where one group and supplementary 4 ml per 100 grams of body weight of coconut water. After 45 days, the coconut water group had a reduction in cholesterol and triglyceride levels that rivalled the effects of a statin drug used to lower cholesterol. Keep in mind however that this was a very high dose. In human terms, it would be equivalent to a 68-kg person consuming 2.7 litres of coconut water per day!
The main electrolytes that your body uses to carry out these vital functions are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphorus, chloride, and bicarbonate – and guess what, coconut water contains most of those (bold)! In another study, rats on a high-fructose diet were treated with coconut water. Free radical activity decreased, as did blood pressure, triglycerides and insulin levels – very interesting and encouraging. Bring on more research we say! Each smoothie sachet is 140g, and after blending with 200ml liquid you will get a 12oz smoothie. That’s a standard UK size, the same as you’ll get in a café. We find it’s a large-ish portion for an adult, or two smaller portions for kids. Each smoothie has its own ‘nutritionals’ section – for example, see Pash n Shoot here – which gives you the calories per 100g and all the other info you might need.Coconut water has soared in popularity recently, and it’s not hard to see why. Refreshing, nutritious and one of the healthiest options to add to our smoothie mixes (other than water itself!), this is definitely our top choice for health, particularly if you don’t like your smoothies too sweet. Health Benefits of Coconut Water Commercial mylks are typically fortified with added nutrients such as calcium and vitamin D, both of which play a vital role in bone health, and vitamins B2 (also known as riboflavin) and B12, which are needed by the body to release energy from food, as well as helping to keep the nervous system healthy.
