[VIDEO] Experts Claim Smoothies are Bad For You?

Some experts say smoothies are bad for you? This video shows how mistaken they are…

Just the other day I was talking to a friend about smoothies, and their response was “surely green smoothies are not good for you because…blending breaks down the fiber too much”? And again “… because the high fruit content gives you a blood sugar spike”?

You’ve probably heard objections like these too? And when well-respected nutrition scientists raise these same questions, its worth taking their concerns seriously…

In this video by Robyn Openshaw (GreenSmoothieGirl.com) she thoroughly addresses these issues. Robyn claims >95% people who adopt a green smoothie daily habit see a noticeable improvement in their health and/or quality of life, and report the top health benefits of green smoothies as better digestion, weight loss, and energy gain.

In the video, Robyn puts the experts’ (and my friend’s) questions into perspective and outlines simple recipe principles which completely eliminate the concerns raised.

Robyn’s Smoothie Recipe Principles:

Smoothies should be made up with approximately these proportions:
1/3 water e.g. if you put 3 cups into blender
1/3 greens…you should blend greens until the liquified volume = 6 cups
– that will take a lot of greens – about 0.75lb
1/3 fruit – another 3 cups of blended fruit

For diabetics, concerned about sugar content – use lower-sugar fruit e.g. apples, berries; use a lot of lemon juice (very low sugar)

The greens slow down the impact of the fruit on your blood sugar

Green Smoothie Strategy – sustainable practice that most people will actually do as a step towards a healthier diet. “A 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 for nutrition habits”

Smoothies are not a replacement for salads & veg, but a quick & easily digestible addition to the “standard American diet”!

Transform Your Winter Drinks with Torani's New Forest Pine Syrup!

Update Discovering Torani's Forest Pine Syrup: A Seasonal Delight If you're like me and love to experiment with flavors during the holidays, Torani’s new syrup is just the ticket for your lattes and cocktails. This year, the syrup company has rolled out something quite adventurous: their 2026 flavor of the year, the Forest Pine syrup. When I received the sample, I was intrigued. The Forest Pine syrup is described as a fusion of pine, ginger, and sage. To my surprise, while the pine flavor was robust, the ginger remained elusive. Perhaps it's overshadowed by the intensely refreshing taste of pine. What’s delightful is that this syrup is part of Torani's Puremade collection, made from pure cane sugar and no artificial colors. This means you can indulge in delicious drinks without worrying about any weird aftertastes. Putting Forest Pine to the Test My experimentation began with an iced pine latte. I simply mixed 1 tablespoon of Forest Pine syrup with 8 ounces of milk and 2 shots of espresso. The result? A refreshing drink that was perfect for the winter, evoking the essence of holiday gatherings. It carries a sweetness that's not overpowering, making it perfect for those who enjoy their drinks on the lighter side. What I loved most about the Forest Pine syrup is how versatile it is. For example, I created a mimosa-like gin cocktail using the syrup, cranberry juice, and sparkling water. It provided a fun, festive twist and was an instant hit. For my next adventure, I hope to try Torani’s other recommended combinations! Exciting Recipes to Try with Forest Pine Syrup The possibilities for creating scrumptious drinks with the Forest Pine syrup seem endless. Here are a few recommendations I found: Trailblazer Cold Brew: Mix 1 ounce of pine syrup with 6 ounces of cold brew and 2 ounces of milk. Snow Cap Forest Matcha: Combine 1 ounce of syrup with 2 ounces of matcha and 6 ounces of milk, topped with cold foam for an extra touch. Wild Grove Refresher: Add 1 ounce of the syrup to 6 ounces of sparkling water and 2 ounces of lemonade for a zesty drink. These innovative recipes make entertaining friends at home easy, and they fit well into a busy lifestyle—perfect for on-the-go professionals or parents juggling holiday plans! Unique Benefits of Forest Pine Syrup One of the standout aspects of the Forest Pine syrup is its ability to evoke a sense of calm and nostalgia, reminiscent of winter forests and holiday gatherings. This syrup doesn’t just add flavor; it transforms ordinary drinks into festive experiences, fostering conversations and connections during the busy holiday season. Moreover, using a botanical syrup like Forest Pine is a great way to introduce fresh, herbal notes to your beverages, which can be healthier compared to regularly sugary syrups found in cafes. It allows busy individuals like you to embrace creativity without compromising on health. Conclusion: Make This Holiday Season Flavorful! As the holiday season approaches, consider introducing Torani’s Forest Pine syrup into your kitchen arsenal. Not only does it spark creativity in drinks, but it also aligns with a healthy, delicious lifestyle. So why not shake things up this year? Try incorporating this delightful syrup into your winter cocktails or cozy lattes. Cheers to a flavorful holiday season!
