Hi lovlies!!
I wanted to share my daily breakfast with you guys because I've honestly found that my combo of ingredients in my morning smoothie keep me full, energized, & believe it or not, has made my skin radiant & CLEAR!!
My secret ingredient? Spirulina. What is it? It's an organic & vegan superfood containing protein, betacarotene, and essential vitamins & minerals & is the most nutritious, concentrated whole food known to humankind.
One teaspoon Spirulina provides more antioxidants than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables & contains more protien than any other food source in the world (by calorie/protein ratio)... AND only contains about 10 calories per teaspoon. Whoa.
Reading reviews of this stuff, people talked about feeling their blood "tingling" with energy & almost feeling "high" from this powerful stuff. I can't say I've felt tingly or high (lol), but I have noticed a difference in my SKIN. I have no blemishes or dark circles to speak of & because I haven't changed anything else in my diet or routine, I can contribute it to this stuff.
Here's my morning shake concoction:
1 tablespoon spirulina
1 tablespoon vegan brown rice protien powder
1 banana
1 cup fresh organic spinach
1 teaspoon cinnamon (great for your heart, is an appetite suppressant, boosts metabolism & is of course supper yummy!)
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup spring water
4 ice cubes
I blend this up every morning with my Magic Bullet, but you can use a blender.
Calories: about 200
Protein: 20 grams
Fiber: 6 grams
Complete source of: amino acids, Vitamin A, K, B12, Iron,
& MUCH more.
Don't be scared of the dark green color of your shake... I promise it tastes yummy!
PLUS, it'll taste even better when you see a difference in your energy level, you appetite (all that protien & fiber), your skin & your waistline!!
The lineup...
Hawiian Spirulina has the highest amount of vitamins compared to California, Chinese, & Hainan.
