What is a Super Powerful Smoothie?
A while ago I decided to make sure I had a very healthy breakfast every day. I started researching and found smoothies as one of the best options. The good thing about a smoothie is that you can add tons of healthy foods in just one meal.
There are different recipes and endless choices for a morning smoothie. Mine is vegan, of course, and follows what the experts say a smoothie should have.
Protein powder: I use VEGA, which is a vegan protein powder, formulated by a vegan athlete. It is one of the best protein powders in the market, if not the best one.
Fruit: One banana and some frozen berries.
Oil: One tablespoon of coconut oil, which is great to enhance your memory.
Super-food: One tablespoon of maca powder. Maca is a root like yuca. It was mainly eaten by the Incas in South America. It regulates your hormones and gives you a natural boost of energy.
Liquid: I vary between orange juice, soy milk or almond milk depending on my mood.
Fibre: Two tablespoons of rolled oats and one table spoon of chia seeds.
This is the magic recipe. It is a very healthy and complete breakfast. It fills me up until noon and it gives me most of the important nutrients that I need to carry my busy and active live.
My animal lover note: Next weekend I will be running my first half marathon race of this year. The activity that I will be doing throughout this week, to race founds for PETA, is selling some scarfs that I have made. If you are interesting in buying one, please contact me ASAP. I do not have a lot and they are totally gorgeous. If you can’t buy one you can still help by donating directly to PETA. Copy paste the following link for direct donations.
