Smoothies for breakfast are my #1 recommendation to most of my clients struggling with energy issues. Why? Because digestion alone uses up approximately 30% of our total daily energy expenditure. Most people come to me already experiencing extreme exhaustion and overall weakness. For this reason, we want to find meals that require less energy for digestion so that they receive more of the energy food provides, helping them recover and restore their reserves along the way.
Smoothies have personally helped me in so many ways:
Fatigue
Digestive issues
Low immunity
Anxiety
Inability to lose weight
Skin problems
Here is one of my favorite recipes to help with digestion troubles. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
1 cup dairy-free milk
1 cup spinach
1 cup pineapple
1 inch ginger root
½ avocado
optional: add a scoop of your favorite plant-based, allergen-free vanilla protein powder or collagen peptides for more protein.
