 UnRefining Your Breakfast Blueberry Banana Blast
|
|
1/2 Cup Blueberries, fresh/frozen
1/2 Cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
1/2 Cup Plain Yogurt
1/2 Banana
1/4 Cup Granola or 1/2 cup if you like it really thick
2 Ice Cubes
Breakfast is always difficult to keep interesting and fast. Add trying to make it healthy and kid friendly and its no wonder many people just skip it.
Try this quick option packed with protein, antioxidants, and some healthy fat to stave off the mid-morning energy droop. My only change - skip the canola oil if you are making your own granola and use my recipe.

Energy Drinks or Health Hijackers?

Energy Drink sales are on the rise, now the fastest growing segment of the beverage industry at nearly $9 billion in 2011. Also on the rise are some of the many side effects the ingredients in these drinks offer up . What's truly alarming is youth now account for nearly one-third of total sales.
The category includes beverages such as Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar to name a few. These are not energy drinks. They are stimulants, infused with market appeal and categorized as supplements allowing them to slide through the cracks when it comes to FDA regulation on caffeine content.
Do you know how much caffeine is REALLY in a "serving"? Are you familiar with what the other stimulating ingredients are and what they do once inside your body, or worse, that of your child? Don't think for a second they are in our stores so they are safe to consume. They drive huge profits for some of the largest food conglomerates in our nation. READ MORE....

According to a Business Journal Gallup poll, employees who have a positive sense of wellbeing have 62% lower health related costs compared with employees who are suffering.
