Having a smoothie for breakfast can either provide a convenient and nutritious start to the day or give you a sugar surge and leave you hungry for a second breakfast after just 15 minutes. There are guidelines to follow when making a smoothie that’s effective in terms of healthy weight management, satiety, performance, and many other overall health effects.
Here’s the trick: adding the right amount and right kinds of fat, protein, carbohydrate, and fiber will keep you satisfied and your body at peak performance. It also allows you to be more creative with your combinations of nutrient-rich ingredients so that you never get bored. I’ve created a short list of examples for you to use the next time you make a NutriBullet smoothie. Add at least one item from each column into your NutriBullet and blend. Think about what flavor combinations you’d enjoy and have fun experimenting!
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but it’s a great starting point for your nutritious and satiating breakfast smoothies to power up your day from the start!
Here are some of my favorite ways to start my day. Simply combine all the ingredients in your NutriBullet and blend for 30 seconds, or until smooth.
