Organic superfood powders, protein powders fuel your mornings

Whether you have to get up early for a long commute or not, it can be challenging to get everything done before the day starts.

In fact, some of us might have developed the habit of staying in bed until the very last minute, getting up just in time to grab a cup of coffee or an energy drink before starting your day.

But the old saying is true: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Not only does it jumpstart your brain to help with clear thinking and concentration, it will likely help you make healthier choices throughout the day.

Breakfast drinks are easy and efficient

It doesn’t have to be super involved or take a lot of time, either. Smoothies, shakes and other nutrient-filled drinks are the easiest way to ensure you’re getting some sustenance that delivers what your body needs.

Just make sure you have a blender and a ready supply of some key ingredients and you can have a nutrient-dense concoction that will check off several boxes on your daily nutrient checklist in a few minutes.

Those ingredients include your chosen milk or milk alternative, juices, frozen or fresh fruit, flavorings like herbs and spices, and your main nutrient source, like superfood powders, protein powders and any other ingredients you might want to toss in.

The Nutrilite™ brand has a line of USDA certified organic products to help ensure your smoothie or shake not only has the nutrients you want, but that it is free from unwanted synthetics, fillers, chemicals and pesticides. They are also vegan and non-GMO. Nutrilite Organics products include rich, wholesome plant nutrients from certified organic Nutrilite farms and partner farms.

Smoothie, shake and tea recipes to try

The recipe combinations for smoothies and shakes are really endless, but we’ve put together a few to help you get started on your breakfast journey and provide some inspiration for your own creations. Just make sure you set your alarm a little bit earlier so you can fire up your blender before that first meeting!

The below recipes feature Nutrilite Organics Plant Protein Powder in vanilla and chocolate and Nutrilite Organics Green Superfood Powder. Nutrilite Organics Plant Protein Powder delivers 21 grams of protein from brown rice, peas and chia in tasty and easy-to-mix flavors. It also contains all nine essential amino acids.

Nutrilite Organics Green Superfood Powder is a great way to up your phytonutrient intake if vegetables don’t often make it onto your dinner plate. You still need to eat your vegetables, but the Superfood Powder includes plant nutrients from a blend of 10 organic green vegetables and grasses, including spinach, broccoli and kale, to support your overall wellness, energy and digestive health.†  Get your ingredients together, plug in your blender and start creating!
