Why are smoothies important for breakfast?
By Health Coach Kim Diaz
Breakfast is the most important meal of the
day, and sometimes it just doesn't fit into
our schedule the way it should. How we begin the day will determine how the
rest of the day goes. It will determine if we feel energized or if we feel
dragging with a lack of energy. What we put in our bellies is directly related
to how we physically feel. So if you are a skip
breakfast and grab the coffee mug morning
person then this blog is totally for you.
We all need and crave energy. I know I do!
Sometimes it is so easy to want to grab a quick bowl of cereal or even forget
breakfast and just get through the morning on 1-2 cups of coffee for the energy
needed to survive the day. I don't want you to
just survive through the day though; I want you to thrive through the
day. I also don't want you to go on the
"crash and crave" roller coaster for the entire day. If you begin your morning with caffeinated coffee and
sugar, you will crash, and you will be either too tired to make it through your
responsibilities or you will be reaching for another cup of coffee to get
through a few more hours.
Smoothies are another quick alternative to a
fast breakfast that can help energize us throughout the entire day. When you
toss in some greens, a little fruit, and a
healthy liquid like coconut water
you are bound to feel energetic and ready to take on the day. Starting the day
with a smoothie also gives you well needed antioxidants which help protect our bodies from free radicals, and it is a great
low glycemic start. Eating a low glycemic breakfast will help curb your sugar
cravings for the entire day and it will also help with not crashing.
Next time you want a quick breakfast, try a
delicious smoothie that will leave you feeling energized and motivated. A
morning smoothie will provide your body with the nutrients it needs to produce
natural energy and naturally boost your metabolism. So, what are you reaching
for tomorrow morning? I know I will be pulling out my blender and getting ready
for some long lasting energy.
Here's a recipe for a simple, healthy breakfast smoothie to get you started. Let me know what you think!
