EATING OUT

JUICE AND SMOOTHIE BAR

Beetroot juice: This root veggie is full of folate, and raw beetroot have more of
it than cooked or canned beetroot.

Berry-yoghurt smoothie: A great call if it’s made with plain yoghurt—bonus
points for Greek—and real berries. (Some places use frozen yoghurt or sherbet
—not as healthy.)

Carrot juice: A small glass meets your daily vitamin A needs for nearly a week.

Green juice: Greens are always nutritional powerhouses, but juices with them
are often sweetened up with sugary pineapple, orange, or apple juice. If fruit
juice isn’t the main ingredient, go for it.

Peanut butter–banana smoothie: Look for a simple ingredients list. If it’s
really just banana, nut butter, and maybe some milk or yoghurt, you’re good to
go. When chocolate and fro-yo start to sneak in, that’s a tip-off that this may be
more of a dessert than a healthy snack or breakfast.

ADD-INS

Chia seeds: A 2 tablespoon serving of this super seed has about 8 grams of fibre,
so I like to add it to juice, which tends to be low in fibre. This way, you’ll stay
full longer.

Ginger: Beyond adding a spicy kick to your drink, ginger may also lower your
cholesterol.

Greens: Lots of smoothie spots will throw a handful or two of greens into
anything you order. It’s well worth it—they blend right in, flavourwise, and
bring nutritional heft to your order.

Wheatgrass: This rock star plant packs a healthy punch with amino acids,
vitamins, and minerals.
