Give Smoothies a Shot
March 2021
At Moda, we're committed to helping our members on their journeys to whole wellness, and a big part of that is highlighting steps you can take in making sure your diet is packed with essential vitamins and nutrients. Smoothies offer a quick and convenient way to increase your daily nutrition. The key to maximizing the benefits of smoothies is focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods while avoiding added sugars.
Ready in a matter of minutes, smoothies can help:
- Improve your immune system
- Reduce inflammation
- Aid digestion
- Deliver antioxidants
- Provide sustained energy
- Boost brain function
- Reduce cravings for less healthful foods
And, with the right blend of vegetables, fruits, protein (from seeds and nuts) and fats (from Greek yogurt or nut butters), a smoothie can be substantial enough for a meal. If you've got a blender, we recommend keeping a few healthy smoothie recipes in your back pocket. Each recipe in this booklet is nutritious and delicious as is, or can be used for inspiration to create your own nutrient powerhouse in a glass.
Hello.
We have exciting news to share. ODS is changing its name to Moda Health.
Moda comes from the latin term "modus" and means "a way". We picked it because that's what we are here to do: help our communities find a way to better health.
Together, we can be more, be better.
