Breakfast is Going Green

Have you ever considered the way the body digests food in order to make energy for us to live daily? It breaks down the nutrients from what we eat and then stores it in our muscles and tissue for energy to take on the activity of each day. But have you thought about the energy that's needed to break down that food to begin with? Leaving less energy for you to do fun things like run, play scategories, and gab with friends.

That's why I thought I'd try this detox smoothie created by Kimberly Snyder, a nutritionist with world wide perspective and clients lining the Hollywood hills (including Drew Berrymore and...*AHEM* Channing Tatem.) Hellloooo Magic Mike! 

The drink is comprised of leafy greens and fruits. Blended with no liquid but that from within the fruit and a cup and a half of ice water, this drink is mostly fiber, protein, and energizing complex carbs. The recipe makes 2-3 servings, depending on how much you need to feel full and satisfied. I made it this morning with enough leftover for tomorrow's sunrise yoga session at Lululemon.

I will admit, it does not have the sweetest taste ever, and you can really taste the *healthy*. But I was able to sip it down with no problem! Pair it with a cup of coffee, of course, and your morning will be supercharged with healthy goodness and special digestive powers!

Find the recipe for the Glowing Green Smoothie on Kimberly's website. You'll also find celebrity reviews and raves. Stay cool this weekend... and drink up!
