An on-the-run breakfast is only useful if you aren't already starving by the time you get to work. When it comes to mornings, you are on a schedule—one that often just consists of waking up on time. To simplify your start, here are some easy blender breakfast additions to keep you satisfied.
Almond Butter: This nutty spread adds not only delicious flavor to your smoothie but also ups the protein count significantly. Pair it with your favorite berries and milk (cow, soy, or almond).
Flax Seeds: These little seeds are rich in calories and amino acids, so add them to your breakfast smoothie to take it from a juice to a meal. Grind them in your blender first, then add the rest of your ingredients.
Chia Seeds: In ancient folklore, "chia" actually means strength, which makes sense because these concentrated black and white seeds are full of nutrients. Rich in healthy omega-3 fatty acids, carbohydrates, protein, fiber, antioxidants, and calcium, chia seeds are an excellent smoothie booster. Presoak the seeds in water, then add to your favorite recipes.
With these tasty, plant-based morning tips you will be well on your way to a healthy 2018.
