My favorite breakfast or super fast meal is a SMOOTHIE! Here’s why:
- Easy + fast to make (under 5 minutes)
- Nutritious + convenient way to add greens/veggies to your day
- Endless option of flavors + ingredients
- Easier to digest, which helps an upset stomach after overindulging in unhealthy or inflammatory foods
I’ve been experimenting more with lower carb/sugar smoothies in the past year to add more variety to my diet + continue to keep my sugar intake low as I find that sugar adds a lot to inflammation, weight gain, and low energy levels. This recipe is made from no fruit, but is delicious + packed with fiber, greens, protein + healthy fat to start your day off the right way!
