What are the benefits to Kratom smoothies? 

Most people think the only benefit to making a Kratom smoothie is to mask the bitter taste of Kratom powder. And while that's true, there’s numerous other benefits as well. Here are some benefits that you may already know, as well as some others you may have never thought of:

• Masking the bitter taste

As we said, this is the most well known benefit to making a Kratom smoothie. There’s no getting around it, Kratom powder is quite bitter when taken by itself, and Kratom smoothies offer a fun solution by masking the taste of Kratom with delicious ingredients, such as fruits, chocolate, and sweeteners. Doing this not only allows you to enjoy Kratom powder without the bitter taste, it's also a fun way to switch things up if you're an experienced Kratom user getting bored of the same old routine.

• Convenience

Aside from NuKine Wellness Kratom Capsules, Kratom smoothies are the most convenient way to take Kratom powder on-the-go. Kratom smoothies are quick and easy to make, requiring only a few minutes, and can be taken with you wherever you go in a protein shaker bottle. With a protein shaker bottle you’ll be able to enjoy your Kratom wherever you go, such as work or the gym. This means you can enjoy your Kratom smoothie at any time during the day without having to worry about the hassle of preparing it. You can also portion out your own serving size. For example, suppose you’re looking to bring along two servings, and your preferred serving size is 3g of Kratom powder. In that case you could simply prepare your Kratom smoothie using 6g of Kratom powder and drink only half, saving the rest for later.

• Customization

If you were looking to get additional wellness benefits with each Kratom serving, mixing Kratom smoothies allows you to add additional ingredients to suit your specific needs. For instance, if you're looking for something, that's not only a Kratom potentiator, but also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of age-related cognitive decline, you could opt to mix turmeric in your Kratom smoothie. Turmeric is one of the best Kratom potentiators to increase the effects of Kratom without having to take a higher serving size. Another great customization option is Avocado. Avocado can be used if you're looking for something that's high in monounsaturated fats, which has been said to improve blood flow to the brain. When it comes to Kratom smoothie customization for additional wellness benefits, the possibilities are endless.

• Boost of Nutrients

Another thing about Kratom smoothies that you won't get by taking Kratom powder by itself is the ability to get a nutritional boost to your diet. By adding specific fruits, vegetables and other healthy ingredients to your Kratom smoothie, you can increase your daily intake of essential, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. 

• Improved Digestion

lf you read our 'Different Ways To Take Kratom Powder' article, you heard us mention that another unique and fun way to take Kratom powder is to mix it in solid foods. If you’re someone with digestive issues, mixing Kratom with solid foods, might not be the best option for you. On the other hand, if you are someone with digestive issues, smoothies can help promote healthy digestion and reduce digestive discomfort. This makes smoothies a great option for people with sensitive stomachs. 

As you can see, masking the bitterness isn’t the only benefit to mixing your Kratom powder in a smoothie. It also offers convenience, customization, a boost of nutrients, and improved digestion. If you are new to Kratom and would like to know more about the sole benefits of Kratom powder itself, check out the 'Kratom Strains' section in our 'NuKine Learning Center'. 

Preparing a Kratom Smoothie: What’s Required

Making a Kratom smoothie is easy with a few basic ingredients and one essential piece of equipment. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:

• NuKine Wellness Kratom Powder

In most recipes, there’s always a star of the show. In this case, it's NuKine Wellness Kratom Powder. Sure, you can mix any vendor's Kratom powder in your smoothie, but why not use the best 100% all-natural, lab-tested Kratom powder from a trusted brand that always puts its customers' safety first? To learn what sets us apart and why our customers only order Kratom from NuKine Wellness, visit our 'About Us' page, 'NuKine Learning Center,' and 'FAQ' section.

Note: The Kratom you choose will depend on the effects you desire, and the amount you add will need to be adjusted depending on your preferred serving size. To learn more about suggested Kratom serving sizes, check out the 'Kratom Serving Size' section in our 'NuKine Learning Center'. 

• Blender

You can’t make a Kratom smoothie without a blender! It goes without saying that a blender is necessary for mixing all your Kratom smoothie ingredients together. Any blender will do, but a high speed blender will give you the smoothest results.. If you plan on making multiple servings to have throughout the day, we recommended you use a high-speed blender to make sure that your Kratom gets blended through your smoothie evenly. If you don't already have a blender, here’s a non-affiliated list of the “6 Best Blenders for Smoothies” we found online. 

• Liquid / Base

In order to blend all your ingredients together smoothly, you'll need some sort of liquid / base. A list of some of the liquids you can use are water, milk, almond milk, coconut water, and juice.

• Fruits / Vegetables

This is where you can really get creative. Both fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables can be used and added to your Kratom smoothie. We recommended fresh fruit for best results when it comes to flavor, but frozen fruit can be a great choice when you're looking to make a frozen smoothie and don't want to use ice. Some of the most popular fruits and vegetables to choose from include berries, banana, mango, pineapple, spinach, kale, and avocado. Remember to think about some of the additional nutritional benefits we discussed in this article before deciding.  

• Sweetener

A lot of fruits are sweet on their own, but you may want to add a little extra sweetness to your smoothie, especially if you're making a vegetable only Kratom smoothie. If that's the case, consider, adding some natural sugar, swerve, agave, or stevia. 

• Additional Ingredients

Some additional ingredients you may want to consider include honey, yogurt, nut butter, protein powder, leafy greens, or cocoa powder. Our suggestion for the best additional ingredients is to research some of the tastiest smoothie recipes and see what you come up with.

• Ice

If you don't want to use frozen fruit, but you're looking for your smoothie to be cold and have additional texture, make sure to always add ice.

Once you have all your ingredients, simply add them to the blender and blend until smooth. It's important to make sure you start with a low serving size of Kratom powder and adjust as needed. With these basic ingredients and equipment, you can easily make delicious and nutritious Kratom smoothies at home.
