As a busy woman, mornings are quite regimented for me. It’s the calm before the storm in terms of my to do’s.
My mornings have been consisting of Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Protein Oatmeal (1 egg white added and almond butter to top) but unfortunately I've noticed a few extra lb’s have been adding on. Juicing is a great way to get my vitamins in and have a wholesome meal but it’s just too time consuming each morning. My 2nd best bet is a fresh morning smoothie.
Smoothies are simple and healthy(so as long as you don’t just fill it up with only fruits).
We all know how simple and healthy smoothies are. I love that you could throw in whatever you have on hand into a blender and you’re sure to end up with something delicious and health friendly. You could even add in super healthy things like hemp hearts, almonds and flax seed to pump up the vitamins.
To cut back in time here is a great tip. Prepackage and freeze your smoothie ingredients.
For instance this is how I do mine:
1 Zipock bag contains a heaping handful of spinach, a few strawberries or blueberries, flax seeds, scoop of protein powder and a ½ cup of quick dry oats. Make 5 bags on Sunday night for the work week or a month if you have room.

Since all the ingredients are frozen, you’ll want to add a good amount of liquids (about 1.5 cups) into the blender before you blend it up. You could use water, coconut water, milk, soy milk or almond milk. If you have a really good blender, it’ll whirl through the frozen fruits no problem. If your blender can’t handle the solids, try taking the zip lock bag out of the freezer and into the fridge the night before. If you’re using this method, there’s no need to add liquids to your smoothie.
& there you have it. A quick and healthy breakfast for a woman on the go.
What do you like in your smoothies? Im always looking for a new taste combo.
