As the days grow shorter, I find it increasingly difficult to get moving in the morning. Without daylight streaming through my windows at 6:00 AM, I generally wake up feeling groggy and disoriented. To kickstart my day, I have been drinking this morning magic smoothie on repeat. Though it at first appear to be full of only nutritious, filling ingredients, this smoothie actually packs a secret punch in the form of coffee. This sneaky addition not only tastes delicious, it also gives you everything you need to take on the fall and winter days ahead.
I wanted the ingredients for this smoothie to be simple, nutritious, and filling, making this recipe as accessible to all of you as possible.
This smoothie contains:
- Vanilla Almond Milk – low in calories and full of nutrients
- Coffee – provides a crucial jolt of energy
- Banana – acts as a source of potassium and fiber
- Pitted Dates – high in fiber while providing antioxidants
- Rolled Oats – rich in antioxidants while promoting heart health
- Whey Protein Powder – offers an additional source of protein
- Ground Flaxseed – provides Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants
- Chia Seeds – high in Omega-3 fatty acids and protein
Simple to make and delicious to drink, this morning magic smoothie covers all your bases. Have you ever added coffee to your morning smoothies? Is the addition something that interests you?
