If like me you always find yourself having a hard time eating your daily fruits, then smoothies are the answer. In particular, I like to add banana in most of my smoothies. Banana contains a great amount of potassium, an essential nutrient which is needed for the proper function of all living cells. Another option is the use of berries (all sorts of berries will do!). Rich in nutrients and antioxidant properties that help to boost the immune system, berries are also rich in vitamin C.

Green veggies are the perfect way to detoxify your body. But while most people like fruits, many have trouble getting their daily requirement of veggies. If you’re one of them, I’ve got news for you: you can enjoy your veggies in a green smoothie. I promise it won’t taste like greens at all, since it is also naturally sweetened by the fruits it contains. Green smoothies are also low in calories, and because they contains high amounts of water and fiber, they are nevertheless very fulfilling.

Whether you go for peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter or hazelnut butter, they all contain a great amount of protein as well as potassium, which lower the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and heart disease. They also have fiber, healthy fats and magnesium to fortify your bones and muscles, and even vitamin E and antioxidants.

I hope all these recipes will help you start your morning beautifully. One friendly tip before I leave you: remember that life is all about balance.

It will fill your body longer and also prevent you from being tired in the mid-morning, which often results in some unhealthy cravings. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong to allow yourself a great cinnamon bun from time to time, as long as it stays occasional! So listen to your body, and be kind to yourself while trying to do/be the best you can.
