I knew I had an intense writing day – a “heady” day if you will – ahead of me today so I needed an energizing, flow-enabling, sustaining breakfast that was quick and easy to make. Here’s the result, using some of my current favorite ingredients right now.
This is a high-protein, high-fiber, highly delicious smoothie that’s very simple to make.
The incredible nutritional tally in this single tall glass of pure goodness and love:
- 15 gr protein
- 23 gr of fiber ~ you’re getting more than 65% of your recommended daily intake with breakfast alone!
[SAD fact: most Americans get only 10-15 gr fiber a DAY.
