Why Smoothies Are So Good For Breakfast
I know you've heard it, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" or "Make sure you get a good breakfast in before you start your day". Well all these sayings are 100% right. Trust me, I totally understand that sometimes it can be a struggle to fit a good breakfast into our schedule the way we should.
I know you've heard it, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" or "Make sure you get a good breakfast in before you start your day". Well all these sayings are 100% right. Trust me, I totally understand that sometimes it can be a struggle to fit a good breakfast into our schedule the way we should. How we begin our day sets the tone and will determine how the rest of the day goes. It will determine if we feel energized or if we are dragging with a lack of energy around 2pm.
What we put in our bellies is directly related to how we physically feel...Seriously! So if you are a skip breakfast and grab the coffee mug morning kind of person (I know we are all that person at some point), then this blog & our challenge is totally for you!
We all need and crave lasting energy every single day... I know I do! Sometimes it is so easy to want to grab a quick bowl of cereal or even forget breakfast completly 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 a quick alternative for a fast breakfast that can help keep us energized 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 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!!
