Monday Morning Energiser Smoothie
Hands up who dreads Monday mornings? Yes I did to for years but no I've come to love them. And do you know why, because I set myself up for a good day.
One of the best things to do in the mornings is to have a good fuelled breakfast and not to skip it. So many people skip it and then wonder why they are struggling mid morning. Think of it like your car. Your car needs fuel to work and so does your body, albeit different types but it still needs fuel to function.
Try to have a nutritious breakfast filled with protein, carbs and fruit and veg. This will allow your body the nutrients it needs to function throughout your day. Come in the Monday Morning Energiser Smoothie. This is full of protein, carbs and fresh fruit.
