Kura: A smarter start to your smoothie

As a new year begins, many people find themselves searching for convenient ways to lead a healthier lifestyle. Smoothies are a go-to option, as they are easily prepared and stored. But are they a healthy option? It depends. Smoothies can become a sugar trap if they only contain fruit and offer little protein or fiber. Without proper nutrient distribution smoothies may cause blood sugar to spike or leave you hungry an hour later. Enter Kura Smoothie Powder, the smarter way to start your smoothie.

Kura takes the work out of building the perfect smoothie. Kura Smoothie Starters offer a unique combination of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, vitamins and minerals and can be included in the smoothie recipe of your choice. Kura contains 14 grams of whey protein. Studies show whey protein is absorbed more quickly than other types of protein, making it ideal for post-workout consumption . Another nutrition bonus added in are omega-3 fatty acids, which may help balance inflammation and support brain health. Kura also contains probiotics, which can be a bonus during cold and flu season, as they may help improve immunity. Lastly, Kura boasts 26 vitamins and minerals to support overall health.

Kura makes building the perfect smoothie as easy as one, two, three. 1) Start by pouring your beverage of choice into a blender. 2) Add a scoop of your favorite Kura Smoothie Powder. 3) Throw in your favorite fruits and vegetables and blend. Use frozen fruits and vegetables for a thicker consistency or add some ripe avocado for a creamier texture. Always rushing out the door in the morning? Take time on the weekend to portion out your Kura Smoothie Powder and other smoothie ingredients into plastic bags, then store them in the freezer. In the morning simply pour your beverage into the blender and toss in the contents of one of the plastic bags.

Beyond their impressive nutrition profile, Kura Smoothie Powders are versatile. As already mentioned, they can be a quick and healthy breakfast. They can also be an easy lunch; prepare your smoothie in the morning and refrigerate until you’re ready to drink it. Kura can even be mixed alone with milk or water and consumed as a snack.
