Mmmm...Breakfast!!

My mornings for the past few weeks have consisted of a breakfast smoothie that I can make about half-way the night before, which is AWESOME because then that means I get more sleep!!!  It's really easy to do and I think it is pretty tasty.

Here is how I make it:
1/2 banana
1/2 cup blueberries (frozen if not in season)
3-4 strawberries (frozen if not in season)
2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
1 Tbsp. brown rice protein powder
Put all of that in a blender (or I use my handy Magic Bullet) and fill the rest of the way with Rice Milk (or use whatever type of milk suits you)

I try to use as many organic ingredients as possible...my theory is that the less chemicals I have coursing through my veins, the better!  If you find that it's not sweet enough for you, try adding some agave nectar...it's an all-natural sweetener that won't spike your blood sugar like refined sugar does.

I have found that if I start off my days with a decent breakfast (good combo of carbs, proteins, and healthy fats, yes fat can be good for you) then I'm much better off the rest of the day.  I don't get to the afternoon and feel like I need to chew off my arm up to my elbow as a snack.

If you don't normally eat breakfast, I suggest you start!  That's one way you can Choose Your Health Today!
