- 1-2 cups of rice milk, almond milk, or soy milk (I do half water/half milk to save calories) You can also use organic juice (no high fructose corn syrup or food colorings please!)
- 1/2 cup or more of frozen blueberries (You can buy a variety of all the different bags of frozen fruits your grocery store offers and mix it up: Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, mango’s, peaches, and pineapple are all great. Peel bananas, chop, and freeze in baggies ahead of time.)
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (Designer Whey vanilla is my favorite)
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 3 Tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds (grind fresh to preserve the delicate omega-3 oils)
- 1 scoop of L-glutamine powder (equivalent to 500mg) for those that have chronic digestive complaints, are easily prone to ulcers, IBS or food allergies, and need some extra gut healing help on a daily basis.
Blend and enjoy!
This delicious treat is one of the fastest healthiest breakfast meals you can make. Let me break it down for you:
- The anti-oxidants, vitamins, and fiber in fruit are great for your cardiovascular system, and a MUST for any anti-aging program.
- Protein powder in your smoothie will stabilize your blood sugar and energy levels, and aid your concentration abilities.
- The pro-biotics in yogurt help insure optimal digestion as they break down your food in the large intestine
- Flaxseeds are high in omega-3 oils, protein, and fiber. 3 Tablespoons of flaxseeds gives you 6 grams of dietary fiber! Fiber is great for anyone trying to lose weight as it stabilizes your blood sugar and keeps you feeling full much longer.
- L-glutamine is the fuel of the enterocytes (cells that line our digestive tract), providing them with the food they eat ensures they are replenished on a regular basis. L-glutamine is especially helpful and healing for anyone with chronic digestive complaints.
