Throw out your old morning breakfast routine and replace it with this vanilla blueberry breakfast smoothie! It is designed to help energize your body from sleepiness to alertness, and helps revitalize and flush out old toxic matter that your body was busily breaking down during your midnight slumber.
Blueberries are one of the best breakfast foods, because they actually help strengthen your ability to perform better mentally throughout the day. Bananas are also great to include in your morning routine, because they contain beneficial fruit sugars, which help wake you up and power you throughout the day. Maca powder is also something a little special you can add, as it helps regulate hormones and provides plenty of calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and amino acids.

Ingredients:

Blend all of the above ingredients through a high-speed blender like the Vitamix, and enjoy throughout the morning!
Sounds tasty but – at what cost?
Probably ok if you are 20 and exercise a lot. Or you are having it in place of dessert/cake
It would spike my blood sugar like crazy (and I am technically in the normal blood sugar range). No thanks.
Natural fruit sugars do not spike blood sugar when in their raw form. If they do, then it means your lipid (fat) levels are too high, preventing the sugar from properly entering your cells and thus spiking blood sugar.
