Do you read your food’s nutrition labels?
Many foods, even the ones marketed as healthy food, contain ingredients you should be avoiding.

THE HAPPY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

As I prepare for the Food & Mood workshop this Saturday at 9am an NU Grocery, I thought I would share this easy breakfast recipee.

Breakfast is the most impotant meal of the day to start you day off on the right foot. What you eat for breakfast is equally important.

You should always begin your day with a protein and fiber. The fiber helps keep your blood sugar stable (needed both for your brain health and if you're trying to lose weight) and protein keeps you full (as well as being loaded with amino acids that make hormones such ad seratonin our feel good hormone).

RECIPEE
✔1 banana, frozen
✔1/2 cup cooked red lentils
✔3/4 cup unsweetened nut milk
✔2 teaspoon cocoa powder unsweetened
✔1 tablespoon maple syrup
✔1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
✔Handful of spinach (optional)

Combine and blend!
