Blueberry Power Breakfast Smoothie
by Ruth6
Smoothies are a quick and easy way to power up your day. Adding a handful of mild baby spinach boosts the antioxidant factor without adding any noticeable changes to the flavor. Maca, a root vegetable grown in Peru, has energy-boosting properties and is great when you’re trying to avoid or limit caffeine, but just a touch goes a long way. When selecting protein powder, look for brands without added sugar or preservatives, and powders that are made from grass-fed and pastured cows, if possible, for extra omega-3 fatty acids.
