Berry Delicious Breakfast Smoothie
/I absolutely love a good smoothie for breakfast because they pack a big nutritional punch, they keep you feeling full until your next meal, they don't take up much time to prepare and can easily be consumed anywhere which make them the perfect on-the-go food! You can even prepare most of your smoothie ingredients a week in advance by washing and trimming your fruit, then placing fruit smoothie portions into individual jars to freeze. Each morning you can throw them into the blender and go.
So what makes a smoothie good for you?
Because smoothies are:
- full of amazing vitamins, enzymes and minerals
- easy to digest, which mean optimal assimilation of your nutrients
- great for stabilizing blood sugar, both healthy fats and protein are key for blood sugar stabilization
- a great way to consume a variety of different fruits or vegetables at one time
- terrific for cleansing the body of toxicity
- an easy way to add more fiber to your diet for optimal bowel function
