NUTRITION
A breakfast loaded with
superfoods offer antioxidants, minerals and high
fibre, all of which can
help the body rejuvenate
and regenerate new cells
by offsetting free radicals
and pulling excess toxins
out the body via the liver
and bowels.
Breakfast On The Go
My reality, probably much
like yours, is that I need
something quick and
easy to get my day going
and satisfy me enough to
get through my busy work
morning. It was during my
hectic school days studying to become a nutritionist, that I discovered the
power and efficiency of a
liquid breakfast.
Shaken, Not Stirred
Smoothies are a fantastic
way to shake up a boring and repetitive breakfast routine and provide
delicious liquid nutrition.
Smoothies can provide
the energy that many of
us require to keep cognitively focused, alert and
even combat stress in the
most critical of times.
All you need is a protein
powder of your choice (I
prefer plant based protein such as hemp, brown
rice or pea), a liquid base
such as water, your milk
of choice or natural juice,
fruit to sweeten such as
banana or blueberries
and a blender. Shake up
or blend these items together and you have a
meal in a cup to go in two
to three minutes flat.
Health Benefits of Shaking
Up Your Breakfast
Liquid meals are easy to
digest. As liquid nutrition,
smoothies offer an easy
to digest, easy to absorb
by our digestive system
in order to assimilate and
utilize nutrients. Proper
digestion can assist the
body in healthy weight
management, balancing
blood sugar and supporting the aging process.
Smoothies really pack a
punch. Smoothies are an
easy way to get dense
nutrition in one shot. By
adding additional nutritional supplements or superfoods including: coconut oil, flax seed, cacao
powder, spirulina or chia
seeds, you can customize
your morning smoothie to
meet whatever nutritional
needs and health goals
you are currently focusing
on.
