Smoothies are a popular meal replacement or snack, and when made with fruit, veggies, yogurt and healthy fats that are good for you, they can be healthy. But there are a few things to keep in mind before loading up the blender, says Nicole O’Neill, a dietitian with OSF HealthCare. “The tricky thing is a lot of smoothies are pretty one dimensional and or the wrong size,” she says. “So, my number one thought is, deconstruct your smoothie and put it on a plate.
