If you’re short on time in the mornings and just can’t whip up a breakfast of champions before heading out the door, why not power up with a smoothie that’s a health-boosting glass of goodness?
Smoothies with just the right ingredients can fit into your everyday meal plan and provide you with real health and nutritious must-haves like antioxidants, iron, protein. If you can’t whip up a healthy concoction in the morning, try doing so the night before and just store it in a pitcher in the fridge. So all you have to do when you wake up the next morning is guzzle down the goodness! If you need rebalancing after a draining day, consider drinking one of these elixirs in the evening.
If you plan to enjoy your smoothie as a meal, be sure to include more than just fruit in it. Adding ingredients that contain protein and healthful fats, as well as vegetables, make for a more balanced smoothie.
Here’s to good health! Cheers!
