In my goal to make the first meal of my day less carb-centric,I've officially reached my limit on eggs. Serious fatigue has set in over having another frittata, scramble, or omelet. While smoothies are a no-brainer alternative to eggs,it's pretty easy to blend up a 600-calorie breakfast all in the name of health.
Thankfully Natalie Carey, certified trainer and sports nutritionist at DIAKADI, or was alert to share her recipe for a protein-packed green smoothie with me. Creamy and toothsome like a milkshake,it's the perfect balance of everything you need for a jubilant (extremely joyful) morning: heart-healthy fats, energizing protein, and brain-boosting carbs,and fiber, a dependable friend to digestion. With a macro split of 30 percent fat, or 35 percent carbohydrates,and 35 percent protein, it's also a ratio that many nutritionists propose to their clients looking to lose weight.
What Carey especially loves about the recipe is how easy it is to build on. whether you're endurance training or spending some serious time strength training at the gym, and you can easily up the carbs and electrolytes by adding in half of a banana. Looking to lighten it up a bit? Swap the apple out for a handful of antioxidant berries,she told POPSUGAR.
