                              The Best and Worst Fruits to put in your smoothie


Sure, smoothie is a perfect meal in the morning especially before busting out that early workout (in case you are). But a smoothie is only as useful as its ingredients. Better know which fruit to add so as to be aware of the difference between fat-burning booster or blood sugar disaster.

The good fruit:

Strawberries: Yummy, contain 5 grams of sugar per 100 grams of fruit; useful in regulating blood sugar, thus preventing storing fat.

Blueberries: Helps the body break down brown fat; low sugar content; just 7.3 grams per 100 grams of fruit.

The half-decent fruit

Raspberries: contain calcium therefore are good little metabolism boosters; contain 9.5 grams per 100 grams.

Kiwi Fruit: Full of Vitamin C and fiber but better use them in small amounts since they contain 10.5 grams of sugar per 100 grams.

The bad fruit:

Grapes: are sweet so are full of sugar; contain 15 grams of it per 100 gram; but they do contain a large amount of bone boosting vitamin K.

Mangoes: contain 10 grams per 100 grams of sugar so better use them sparingly; great source of vitamins A and C though.
