This smoothie provides tons of fiber! Why is fiber important? Fiber itself has NO calories, however it provides that feeling of being full. The digestive process of fiber itself requires calories, thereby creating a natural calorie deficit through its consumption. Fiber also helps in other areas such as controlling blood sugar levels, shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease as well as many other areas of health.

This is a great smoothie used a meal. If you are on the run or have little time to make a meal, try this!!!
