Spice it Up

{!firstname_fix}

If want even more ways to add nutrients to your juice or smoothies, don’t forget about 
the spices! We really love to add them because you get brand new flavors, while using 
superfood spices that are loaded with important vitamins and minerals. 
Here are some of the reasons to add spices to your juice and smoothies. 
 
Benefits of Spices

Aside from adding a delicious flavor, spices actually offer a wide variety of health 
benefits. While not all spices are going to taste great in juice or a smoothie, cinnamon 
can add a delicious zest and can also help stabilize blood sugar. This is particularly 
important for those that struggle with diabetes or other conditions such as 
hypoglycemia. 

Vanilla is not often thought of as a spice, but vanilla extract is made from the vanilla 
bean and is high in anti-oxidants. In fact, vanilla extract can contain anywhere from 30% 
- 90% of the same antioxidant levels as the actual bean. 

Cocoa is also another spice that can not only add a delicious flavor to your smoothies 
but actually boost your mood as well. 

Cardamom is another great spice to add to smoothies, particularly if you want a 
smoothie that tastes just like a chai tea latte. 

Try to add just one spice and a little amount until you know what flavor you are getting, 
or you can find smoothie recipes that include spices if you’re brand new to using them. 

Have fun!
