Smoothies are no longer crunchy granola hippie food. They are in the sidewalk cafes and are sold at grocery stores in packages of 6. But the smoothies are easy to do at home and may be even more nutritious when you make yourself. One of the best reasons to start drinking smoothies is if you're inclined to skip breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and yet millions of people walk out the door with a thermos of coffee and a full to-do list. Your body needs fuel to function properly. Your brain needs energy to think properly. Smoothies are a great way to get super nutrition in a tasty tidbit. They are quick to make and easy to share. What do you train a great breakfast?
I keep a list of ingredients on hand smoothie so I can make the best tasting, most nutrient-rich shake I can. I keep these ingredients on hand all the time so I can substitute different fruits or juices to change the flavor depending on my mood.
Here is my list: juice (I mix up), the whole plain yogurt, flaxseed, a super green powder, powdered coconut milk, protein powder (vanilla) oil, flax seed and wheat germ.
You can start with fruit juices, yogurt, green food and powdered coconut milk and work in flaxseed, protein powder and other ingredients. I recommend a Super Green Powder Mix, because it mixes easily and quickly digested. (In fact, I often mix with a cup of juice and take one shot ahead for an afternoon in mid pick me up!) Plus it is cheaper than other schemes vitamin because you get all the nutrients you need at once. I especially like the addition of vanilla protein powder and coconut milk powder because they provide more protein and omega 3 fatty acids and milk powder coconut cream and tastes really good! Ok, now that you have your basic ingredients can get down to it!
Smoothies are good for you for many reasons, but two in particular. One: smoothies combine nutrients readily available in liquid form. This means that you get the nutrients you want in a highly digestible form, immediately. Secondly, they are great healthy food on the go. Let's face it, we need better food for a rapidly changing society. Before you go drop another $ 5 bill on a Starbucks try creating your own smoothies and feel the difference Green Super Food!
