4 easy and healthy breakfast ideas
1. A fruit and veggie smoothie
Starting your day with a smoothie is a great way to get a head start on your daily recommended dose of fruits and veggies. To help you feel full after your morning drink, make sure it has a protein base like plain Greek yogurt, non-GMO soy or hemp protein powder or almond milk. Then add in some greens like cucumber (anti-inflammatory and hydrating), spinach (high in iron and full of antioxidants) or kale (high in antioxidants and vitamin K). Throw some low-glycemic index fruits inside like wild blueberries or strawberries and a potassium-rich banana to offset the greens. Finally, add some chia seeds to the mix and you've got a power-packed drink that will provide energy and loads of health benefits.
