Coffee is a drink with very few calories and nutrients, and nothing about it qualifies as a meal.
But I got into abad habit of drinking my cup of joewithout a real meal on busy weekday mornings.
By mid-morning, I pay the price ofskipping breakfast.
My stomach growls incessantly, reminding me of the crucial meal I neglected.
The energy slump, paired with the gnawing hunger makes it increasingly difficult to concentrate.
And on workout days, skipping breakfast results in an energy crash mid-workout.
…
Since then, I found the perfect way to fulfill my need for coffee and a meala coffee smoothie.
Heres exactly whats in my coffee smoothie recipe.
But as I mentioned, my hunger disappears after a few sips of my morning brew.
Not only are they a potassium powerhouse, but unlike super-ripe bananas, they are asource of prebiotic fiber.
Prebiotic fibers are non-digestible components found in certain foods thatpromote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, aka probiotics.
They act as fuel for these microbes, helping to improve digestive health and enhance overall well-being.
I usually toss one-half of a frozen banana into my blender.
Prunes
I have a family history of osteoporosis, so eatingfoods that support bone healthis a priority of mine.
To help me meet this daily goal, I like to toss one to two prunes into my smoothie.
…
I pour my drink into my to-go cup and sip it in the car.
It all depends on how rushed I am in the morning.
I get to finish my cup of coffee and benefit from so many other nutritious ingredients in the process.
Like many people, Im a work in progress.
What a sweet way to start the day!
