There are days when you can chow down on a bagel and call it a good morning, but then there are days when you need a breakfast stacked with energy-boosting, protein-packed, fiber-filled foods. And on those days, we whip up a smoothie.
But what exactly should we be throwing in our blenders? We turned to fitness and nutrition guru Tiffany Smith of Petite Physique for advice, and she responded by creating a recipe just for GrindTV that’s an easy-to-digest combination of super foods, including a hearty dose of cancer-fighting antioxidants, proteins, energizing healthy fats and plenty of fiber – all essential for maintaining your energy and performing well on high-activity days.
“Whether you’re taking on powerful waves or hiking through the mountains, this smoothie has everything you need to stay energized and full for hours,” says Smith. “The best part is that it tastes like you’re on a tropical getaway and is incredibly refreshing!”
Hand it over.
