During cold weather, I was into homemade soups instead of a sandwich for lunch limiting my carb intake, which really helped me melt off twelve pounds that I gained during the lockdown. However, ever since my SmoothieBox arrived, I have been using my blender mercilessly making new smoothies now that the weather is warm like my best strawberry banana smoothie recipe as a wonderful light meal replacement that tastes more like an ice cream milkshake.

If you’re trying to get healthier or wanting to lose some winter weight gain before you hope to slip on your bathing suit, I recommend a SmoothieBox subscription. You may think that I am only telling you how fantastic this healthy smoothie subscription is because I am an affiliate. Yes, I am an affiliate and would make a little bit of money if you subscribed, but I am also someone that knows a good thing.
With all sincerity, I feel that you save money and gain convenience buying frozen ready for the blender SmoothieBox packs along with a protein powder. You may disagree, but figure out the cost of all the expensive fruits and vegetables that you store in your refrigerator just for that purpose that you often land up throwing out because you don’t feel like eating or making smoothies. Good intentions are one thing, but being practical is another.
Another reason I love SmoothieBox is too many fruits and vegetables take up too much space in my small refrigerator. Of course, you may have a large refrigerator or a separate freezer. But my kitchen is a small size that lacks room for a gigantic model. For me, this healthy drink subscription solves that storage problem and saves more by making fewer trips to the grocery store for those fruits and vegetables.
The SmoothieBox Strawberry Banana pack also has beets in this bag that makes two tall servings. To counter balance that slightly tart taste of the strawberry, I added a small amount of 100% pure concord grape juice that sweetened it naturally. At the same time, the grape complimented the strawberries, bananas and beets exceptionally well in my best strawberry banana smoothie recipe. Though it was delicious, I felt it could be better if I added just the right spice. Therefore, I tested it with nutmeg. First, I sampled it with just one-fourth of a teaspoon. The result seemed to intensify the fruit flavors in a way that is hard to describe. Then, I went with one-half teaspoons and it was even tastier with that extra nutmeg coming through.
I believe in SmoothieBox and consider this healthy drink subscription box a value for what you get for your dollar, health and figure. This is no surprise considering that the company comes from the same people that make Butcher Box, another healthy meat subscription I also deeply love and am an affiliate of. Check them out!
