Having spent a bit of time in Argos recently I am now the proud owner of a blender and me and my blender are going to start a revolution one breakfast table at a time. There are many reasons to fall in love with a these wonderful things but number one is that everything about it is easy. So many people miss breakfast and this is a habit that needs to be broken. With everyone squeezing so much into their days the breaking of the fast gets missed out but it is called that for a reason it needs to be eaten, it gets the body going and sets it up for the day.
Making smoothies is a great way of eating on the go or you can prepare it the night before and just grab it and take it with you. The preparation takes no time at all and you can put what ever you want in them until you find some combinations you love. I find simply emptying my fruit bowl into the juicer very effective.
From a nutritional point of view it is a good idea to put some protein in with the fruit. This will slow down the glucose release of the fruit and therefore ensure the levels of energy are more sustained. This will not only make you feel less hungry sooner but also keep your energy levels steady and prevent you getting tired and grumpy! Instead of yoghurt or milk try adding a few nuts like cashews or almonds which will provide some brilliant essential fatty acids and work in the same way as the yoghurt in slowing down the release of sugar....
Enjoy xx
