3.Coconut
It’s full of nutrients, like potassium and manganese, and will add body and texture to your smoothie. Any kind will do, but check out young Thai coconuts — they’re the ones used to make the “coconut water” sold as a natural, lower-sugar sports drink.
4.Flaxseed
It’s high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and can help keep your cholesterol levels in a healthy range. Ground flaxseed makes for a smoother smoothie than whole seeds, and your body can absorb it more easily. But go easy: It’s commonly used to help with constipation, so you can imagine what happens when you eat too much of it.
