Shake it Up! Everything You Need to Know About Breakfast Smoothies
Here, we’re about way more than coffee; we love living a healthy lifestyle. You deserve to start your day with a burst of lasting energy!
Are you looking for a change in your morning routine? Breakfast shakes or smoothies, whichever you prefer, are a quick and healthy alternative for our increasingly hectic lives. These drinks are popular - because they’re nutritious, use flavorful ingredients, and are convenient on the go. Breakfast shakes can provide you with the protein, fiber, and healthy fats needed to fuel the rest of your day.
Let’s wake up well! Take the benefits of powerful Ganoderma beyond the mug. Scroll on to shake things up with delicious breakfast smoothies.
What Should Be in A Breakfast Shake?
As our first meal of the day (you’re breaking your fast from sleeping), it’s essential that you hydrate and get balanced and nutritionally packed calories for the rest of your day.
A healthy smoothie should have fiber, protein, fruit, vegetables, and healthy fats. Avoid added sugar because the natural sugar in the fruits will provide sweetness, fiber, and carbs.
We suggest adding Organo’s OGX Fenix to amp up your protein intake and keep you feeling fuller, longer. We love it because it combines top-quality, gentle ingredients that your body needs – including whey protein, vitamins, Ganoderma, and fiber. It makes for a delicious and versatile addition to any breakfast shake.
Breakfast Shake Essentials
Breakfast shakes are easy to make with many ingredients you likely already have in your kitchen. You have to hit a few different types of food to balance the nutrition.
Focus on multiple food groups to keep your shake well balanced. Here are some ingredients needed to make a nutritious and delicious breakfast smoothie:
Fruit
Fruit is the primary ingredient in most smoothies. Not only does it add sweetness, it also adds fiber and quality carbs that turn to fuel for your body. Pro smoothies makers keep frozen bananas on hand. They add a thick, cold consistency that will boost your entire shake experience.
Greek Yogurt
Protein is missing from a lot of good shake recipes. Greek yogurt is a great way to get additional protein into your shake and gives your smoothie a creamier consistency.
Liquid
All shakes need liquid to combine properly. For something other than water, unsweetened almond milk or OJ are excellent alternatives.
Extras:
Nut Butter- Nut butter adds healthy fats and additional protein to your shake.
Leafy Greens- throwing a handful of greens into your smoothie is a simple way to get fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals into your shake. You can use whatever you’d like, but baby spinach is often recommended.
