A Nutritious Breakfast Packed Full Of Life!
August 26, 2010 1 Comment
This morning, while hanging out with a friend, I got onto the topic of what constitutes a good and substantial breakfast. All too often, I’m left starving around 11am after having only a bowl of cereal or a few slices of toast for breakfast. This kind of breakfast that many of us routinely consume is in fact “dead food”. There’s nothing alive about it! Bread is dead, and to add to that, we kill it even more by chucking it into a toaster! Any nutrition is long gone. Ask yourself, “Is my breakfast enough to fuel my body for the morning?”
To make the most out of the day, we need to pack as much nutrition into our breakfast as possible. How about having a tasty and nutritious SMOOTHIE packed full of life? Search online and you will find thousands of different ways to come up with the perfect smoothie. Have a look around and share with us your favourites.
After our chat this morning, my friend Shea-Ryan gave me the recipe to his daily smoothie. This is just the core formula so feel free to experiment.
For the additional fruit, he suggests adding mango! Little did he know that I’m allergic to mango (why couldn’t I have been allergic to Brussels sprouts?). So to be fair, I forbid anyone from adding the juicy deliciousness of this majestic fruit into their smoothie. I suggest adding a dried-up prune instead!
