Smoothies are a quick breakfast option. However, in order to make sure we are starting the day off well, we need to ensure we are building a good quality smoothie! Hint: an all fruit smoothie can use a few adjustments! When making a smoothie, always include a source of protein and healthy fat. These two additions to your smoothie will help your body to avoid any sugar crashes later in the day! In addition to these adjustments, stray away from using fruit juice in your smoothie….plain, unsweetened plant-based milks or water are great options!
