My Morning Breakfast
Today’s post will be a little different than most, and I will do my best to not come across sounding like a late night infomercial 🙂
I have been intrigued by the nutritional benefits that I have heard about from folks that are using the Nutri-Bullet. As a result, in December I decided that I would ask Santa Claus if he might bring me a Nutri-Bullet for Christmas. When Christmas arrived sure enough he had left one for me beneath the tree. A few days later I made a trip to the local grocery store to stock up on some fresh fruits and vegetables and began making my green smoothie for breakfast each morning. After having one of these smoothies each morning for the last three weeks I can honestly say that there are indeed incredible benefits to them. The Nutri-Bullet blends all the ingredients down so that the digestive system can easily extract the maximum amount of nutrients present within the concoction. In three short weeks I have dropped roughly 12 pounds, have noticeable increased energy, and have completely eliminated the need for my prescription medication for acid reflux. I have even been able to cut back on the amount of medication that I have to take for my asthma. I now honestly believe that if the body is getting the proper amount of nutrients that it requires then there will be a reduced dependency for such prescription medications, as the body will heal itself once it is receiving enough nutrients, and this is a simple and great tasting way to do so.
I doubt that I will be able to get back down to my high school weight :), but I do think that there are significant health benefits to the green smoothie. Here is what I am adding to mine that is pictured above: two handfuls of spinach, pear, apple, banana, pineapple, flax seeds, and almonds. Once the ingredients are added to the cup it takes less than 30 seconds to blend. Stay tuned for more great recipes 🙂
