Neglecting breakfast has become the norm for most people. Most of us become extremely busy as we prepare for our day. As a crutch, we often dash to fast food restaurants in an effort to save time, making choices that favor convenience over health. Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating during snacking, lunch, and dinner - potentially increasing one’s risks of becoming overweight or developing maladies such as diabetes.
Breakfast is our first meal after a long night’s rest, so you should take the time to choose your energy sources wisely. By eating a healthy breakfast, not only will you boost your energy level, but you will also provide yourself with the fuel necessary to jump-start your day. A good breakfast means better concentration without feeling lethargic or worn-out.
Instead of becoming the victim of the negative health effects that come from skipping breakfast, take charge by incorporating spirulina-based superfood smoothie recipes into your day. Spirulina has more protein per gram than any other food, and it is the richest form of beta-carotene available to us. Superfood smoothies are easy to make and can be conveniently stored for later consumption during work, school or play.
Here are two easy superfood smoothie recipes made with spirulina-based superfood powder and anti-oxidant- rich fruit. Either of these will leave you satisfied for an extended period of time in order to maintain energy, retain nourishment and
perform any given task with efficiency.
Berry Chocolate Smoothie Blend:
- 1.5 cups pure water
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup frozen berries
- 1 round tablespoon
spirulina-based superfood powder - 1 round tablespoon raw chocolate bits
- 1 tablespoon cold-pressed coconut oil
Delicious: a total energizer!
Pear Superfood Smoothie Blend:
- 1 cup water from fresh Thai coconut. Also simple pure water
is fine if coconuts are not available…although a touch of agave
or honey will help sweetening
- 1 fresh pear sliced into quarters and core removed (for added
creaminess, freeze pear beforehand, or add ice)
- 2 tablespoons
spirulina-based superfood powder -2 tablespoons hemp seeds or meat from coconut for added
protein
Purify, energize, shine with this total refresher!!!
Neglecting breakfast is not wise. For most of us, a busy day is the norm. As a crutch to get us through our busy schedules, many of us rely upon fast food restaurants in an effort to save time, making choices that favor convenience over health. Skipping breakfast can lead to overeating throughout the rest of the day.
Many of the foods we consume these days are processed, chemically altered, and extremely unnatural. People do not realize that eating these types of foods actually do a disservice to our bodies. Substituting a donut or greasy French fries with a refreshingly healthy, homemade superfood smoothie will make you feel good on the inside and look good on the outside.
You are bound to feel refreshed, energized and revitalized throughout the day with these superfood smoothie recipes, whether you have them for breakfast or for a healthy midday snack.

This is a very delicious smoothie. I made this with rice milk and did not add yogurt because my husband can not have a lot of dairy. There is some dried milk in the protein, but it is not enough to cause him problems. If you have a sensitivity to dairy this would be a great option for you. I want to stress that this recipe in not dairy free. There is some dairy in the protein that I use but you can easily get a dairy free protein powder to make this a completely dairy free option.
