One of the principles of a healthier life states that you should never leave home without having breakfast. Often it seems that traffic, kids, and work make this impossible.
That’s why we’ve put together a very simple guide to prepare healthy smoothies so that no matter what your day brings, you can stick to your goal of living a healthier life.
Create your perfect blend
The perfect blend for a good smoothie only takes a few ingredients. From there, you can mix some of the things you have in your refrigerator or freezer to make a delicious smoothie any time of the year.
Basically, it’s about playing with the options available in the market to meet this ratio: 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of frozen berries, ½ to 1 frozen banana, and a handful of your favorite greens.
Keep frozen fruit bags in your freezer
Do you want blackberries, strawberries, or mango? Having bags of chopped and frozen fruit in your freezer helps you save precious minutes in the morning while providing various flavor options. This way, it’s harder to get bored with your breakfast quickly.
How to make budget-friendly smoothies
Smoothies don’t have to mean a compromise on your savings. While a fruit like acai sounds exciting, it’s also true that being an imported product, it will be more expensive than other local options. Therefore, explore local and seasonal ingredients. This way, you ensure all the wisdom of the season and a very reasonable price when shopping.
Make your own protein powder
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to add protein to your smoothies. Here’s how to make a simple protein powder to make your smoothie a complete breakfast.
Simply in a container, add equal parts hemp powder and ground flaxseed, and add a quarter of that amount of chia seeds.
Store in a refrigerator to keep it fresh, and when you make your smoothies, just incorporate a tablespoon of this mix to keep you satisfied until your next meal.
