Rarely do you have enough time to sit down in the morning and make a full breakfast. Most of us are running so late we barely have enough time to make ourselves look somewhat presentable before we’re running out the door. But you have to remember one of the most important rules about health and fitness; EAT BREAKFAST! Eating breakfast within an hour of getting up kick starts your metabolism for the day. By doing so, you’ll be able to burn calories at a quicker rate all throughout the day. Not eating breakfast actually slows down your metabolism which creates the opposite effect.
Below is a super quick, super easy and super tasty smoothie that takes less than 5 minutes to make.
Power Blast Smootie
8 oz low-fat milk
1 scoop protein powder (any kind for the guys, Slim Fast Plus Protein tastes great for the ladies)
¼ cup uncooked instant oatmeal (not the sugary stuff, the natural kind. And no, it’s not weird once you blend it)
1 tbs. peanut butter
½ cup of blueberries, strawberries, banana or any kind of fruit
Blend for 30 seconds and violá! Breakfast in less than 5 minutes! Take it for the road and get out the door in time to make it to work! I know the oatmeal sounds strange but your body needs those healthy carbs (yes, your body needs carbs) to energize you through the day and kick up your metabolism. It’s the perfect nutrition elements and calorie count to start your day being healthy!
So until tomorrow, spend Everyday Living Fit!
