Smoothie made with melon, green apple and cucumber: source of health
Let’s start by telling you something important and, at the same time, obvious: we do not recommend adding a sweetener to this drink. If you choose a slightly ripe melon, in fact, it will be enough to obtain a pleasant and refreshing sweet taste.
We try first of all to make it a healthy, energetic and purifying remedy. For this purpose, it is important to look for organic fruit. It is essential since, in the case of the green apple, we need to include the peel as well. Below we see how we can lose weight thanks to these ingredients.
Melon: refreshing and ideal for gaining a healthy weight
- Choose the variety you like best or the one that is in season. The supply of natural sugars from the melon pulp will allow us to enjoy its sweetness without compromising our health (but only if taken in moderation).
- Both melons and watermelons are particularly rich in water and antioxidant fiber and have very few calories, two fantastic aspects to satiate and thus reduce the desire to nibble between meals.
- Nutritionists advise us to eat 1 cup of melon (150 g) in the morning or in the afternoon as a snack, along with other fruit, cereals or natural yogurt. It’s a great way to take care of your weight.
Green apple: satiating
In our melon smoothie we add a green apple with the peel. This fruit is excellent for regulating our weight, because it is very low in sodium and calories, but rich in antioxidants capable of accelerating metabolism.
- Green apple has only 80 calories per piece and if we add to that its high fiber content, it will be easy to see why it is so good for this smoothie.
- Eating an apple along with melon juice and cucumber allows its soluble fiber to work in the intestinal tract.
- Another interesting aspect about green apple is that it allows us to stabilize blood sugar levels, which is very important for people with diabetes.
Cucumber: moisturizing
Although it seems incredible to us, the cucumber comes from the same family as the watermelon. For this reason, it is another great food to hydrate, purify toxins, anti-inflammatory and reduce cholesterol levels.
- A detail that is very useful to know is that this smoothie made with melon, apple and cucumber helps us fight water retention and reduce the feeling of “fullness” and heaviness that we experience every now and then.
- Furthermore, cucumber is rich in enzymes and vitamins, without forgetting that it is also able to stimulate blood circulation. A fabulous thing without a doubt.
