Do you Smoothie?

I've started drinking smoothies for breakfast, just to get a boost of much needed nutrients in the morning. I think I do see a positive change! I certainly have much more energy, and what do you know? I was actually able to give up my coffee addiction! This isn't to say that I will never touch coffee again, I just don't have a coffee crutch anymore.
It took me a really long time to get into the smoothie wagon. After all, why drink a smoothie when you can enjoy eating the food? Well, if you are anything like me. A quick snack in the morning to fill me up is perhaps a bagel with cream cheese, or peanut butter and bread. While this is not bad at all, a smoothie actually packs a dense nutrient punch into my daily intake.

This is what I usually put into my morning smoothies:

• A banana (I don't know why I like bananas so much)
• An apple (peeled)
• A stick of celery
• Throw in some kale or lettuce
• 1-2 cups of water
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 TBS flax seeds
• 1 tsp spirulina
• 1 tsp shredded coconut

It's a lot, and I fill my giant Tupperware drink container, drop in a straw, and drink the smoothie throughout the morning. Smoothies are amazingly portable!
Hey, you know what? It's quite yummy! Don't believe me? Give it a shot. You don't have to put in those fancy ingredients. Try some almond slivers or crushed walnuts instead.
All you have to do is make sure you blend really well with your blender!

Enjoy!!!
