Fiber ends up the butt (ahem) of a lot of jokes<\/a>, but the reality is a little worrying: Only about 7% of Americans<\/a> get the recommended daily allowance of fiber, and most get less than half that amount. So what, you say? So a host of undesirable results, unfortunately. \u7814\u7a76\u306b\u3088\u308b\u3068<\/a> that getting a lot of fiber from beans, nuts, fruits, and vegetables reduces the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and colon cancer.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

And that\u2019s only one great reason to work smoothies into your daily routine. Pack \u2019em with leafy greens, a little nut butter, and as many other herbs and veggies appeal, and you\u2019ve got a heck of a start on hitting that recommended 25-30 grams of fiber each day. You also have a nutrient-dense, mineral-packed, tasty meal.  <\/p>\n<\/div>

Satisfy Your Hunger, and Your Sweet Tooth<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Sugar, and especially refined sugar, comes with a lot of downsides<\/a>\u2014weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and inflammation among them\u2014but it also lights up a lot of \u201cgood-feelie\u201d regions of your brain. Eating sugar is rewarding, and for a lot of us it\u2019s also wrapped up in emotions, whether consoling tough feelings or celebrating good times. Which means that knowing it can harm you and being able to avoid it are two very different things. <\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Getting fruit sugar alongside a healthy dose of fiber provides a way to get that sweetness so many of us crave without going overboard or taking in the empty calories of, say, a handful of jelly beans or a chocolate bar. There\u2019s a danger of going too far and giving your smoothie the nutritional profile of a milkshake (more on that later), but half a banana and some berries go a long way toward satisfying a sweet tooth.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Meanwhile, your smoothie has the power to keep you feeling without making you uncomfortable. A lot of fiber, a bit of protein, and as many fiber-tastic leafy greens as you can cram into the blender will hold you for quite a while. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Blend a Truly Healthy Smoothie<\/h2>\n<\/div>

\u201cSmoothie\u201d has achieved a halo of health that it doesn\u2019t always deserve. Sure, getting more fruits and vegetables into your body is a plus. It\u2019s just that commercially available smoothies are designed to keep you coming back, so they target your brain\u2019s pleasure centers with, yes, a whole lotta sugar. Making smoothies at home involves some chopping and cleanup but gives you the opportunity to really get what you need out of your smoothie without a lot of stuff you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Here are some dos and don\u2019ts for building good-for-you smoothies that taste super, too. <\/p>\n<\/div>
