One of the best ways to start the day is a healthy breakfast. Mornings are really busy trying to get the kids to school and the husband off to work. Once everyone is off, it is time to exercise…of course, I am usually running late at this point. The easiest way to get in a healthy and delicious breakfast is a smoothie. I buy fresh spinach and kale in bulk and freeze it for a colder smoothie.
Smoothies are a great way to nourish your body with vitamins and minerals your body needs to fuel itself. They have the added benefit of giving your digestive system a rest while still obtaining plenty of dietary fiber.
Making it yourself, ensures that you know exactly what you are eating. This is one of my favorites…
Tropical Lime Green Smoothie
1 c coconut water
1/2 c frozen mango slices
2 TBS chia seeds
1 cup spinach
1 cup kale
juice of 1 lime (don’t skip this)
1 tablespoon coconut butter
¼ c soaked almonds
2 pitted dates
Blend until smooth.
