Coconut- Strawberry Smoothie
Don’t have time for breakfast? No matter how hectic your mornings get, there is one habit you should not fluff off and that is, eating breakfast. Research shows that regular breakfast eaters tend to lose more weight and keeping it off. This is especially true when your breakfast consists of a combination of food sources which include quality protein, complex carbohydrates, and good fats. So what should you reach for to keep yourself going all morning long until lunch? I highly recommend your breakfast includes a power smoothie for a balanced and energizing start to your day. Strawberries nourish your body with an array of essential nutrients such as antioxidants known as polyphenols, vitamins and minerals that help keep you healthy and vibrant. They include high amounts of vitamin C, folate, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, and magnesium. It doesn’t matter whether they are fresh or frozen, they are a healthy source. Strawberries contain a compound called biotin which is good for healthy skin, hair, and nails. But its health-promoting benefits don’t stop here. This amazing fruit also helps lower blood pressure, heart health protection and guard against cancer.
