Have a new Habit No. 1 “smoothie” Your DAy H abits are powerful. So why not starting a new and healthy, life im- proving habit? Do you got the discipline? No? Well, maybe you don’t need that much discipline for this new habit to in- tegrate into your daily routine be- cause it’s too delicious and enjoy- able. Simply yummy and fresh! I personally prefer smoothies in the morning that are based on fruits or vegetables only. I’m still not a fan of adding almond milk, oats or yogurt or any other protein and mineral powder to my smoothie. During my holidays in Brazil this year I started eating mainly pure fruits for breakfast and I felt a change af- ter only a couple of days. I felt like I had more energy and it was a light breakfast that didn’t need a lot of en- ergy to digest but helped me to kick off my day with energy. I don’t eat fruits in the evening, maybe an apple during the later afternoon but fruits in my diet are perfect for the morning. Why a smoothie and not eating the fruits like they are? To be honest, I mix it. One day, I have a “FRUITIE” (that’s how I call my pure fruit shakes now), then a plate of three or four different fruits the other day or - also one of my favourites - rice cakes or vegan bread with banana on top of it. I do change my eating habits a lot and that comes from listening to my body and the appetite I have on that day. In contrast to eating and chew- ing the fruits as usual a smoothie is so much easier for my digestion system. One of the things that I rarely talk about is that I’m actually a really bad chewer and that causes me trou- bles with my digestion and stomach. It’s hard work for me to remind me of chewing my food proper- ly. Do you see the amazing advan- tage that a smoothie breakfast has in the morning? It’s a perfect solution for my chewing issue and allows my body to absorb nutrients quicker. Why a Fruitie or Smoothie in the morning? - super easy and quickly done - easy to customise - super easy to transport - it’s delicious - it’s nutritious - it’s perfect!!! And here is what I use: Breville Blender (easily to order from Amazon) I’m impressed by the Breville blender and that after I was used to mix with a Vitamix one. The motor is strong, crushes ice, removable blades, perfect on the go bottles. 2
