Time to Shake it up!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day! 


Why?

1. If you don't eat within an hour of waking up your metabolic rate will decrease, which means you will burn less calories if you don't eat.


2. You need to feed your brain!!! Otherwise, you will be out of it in class, or start to get hungry and irritable. This fuel comes from glucose from the foods you eat, which is needed to talk, walk, and perform any day activity. 


Breakfast improves your concentration! Which we all need ! 


     So when you are on the go, and don't have time to go to the cafeteria, or campus dinning halls.....

Buy a blender!!

Yes my smoothies are GREEN and amazing! 
Don't judge it till you try it!

1 cup of Kale 
1/2 cup of unsweetened Almond Milk
1 tbsp. of ground flax seed
1/2 small banana
