These Shakes Will Start Your Morning Off Right

By: Tayler Glenn

Tossing healthy ingredients into a blender can make a fabulous grab-and-go breakfast, especially on busy school mornings (which are coming soon!). But, there are common mistakes folks make that can sabotage their healthy morning shake. See if you’re making any of these mistakes, and check out our favorite recipes to start your morning off right!

Shake Mistakes to Avoid

Fight the Urge to Add Everything
Sure, lions mane mushroom powder, collagen, protein, and spirulina sound like a primo superfood mix…but, it may not be easy to choke down. It could also really hike up the calories in your cup! Instead, we suggest you divide and conquer. Start your morning off right by choosing one or two superfoods, minding calories and ensuring it’s a breakfast you’ll want to eat!

 

Watch Your Glass Size
Large glasses lead to larger portions. It only makes sense! When we have 36 ounces to fill, 12 ounces just doesn’t look satisfying int he glass! If you’re filling your shake with healthy, filling options then you should safely be able to fill a 12-16 oz. glass and be good to go until your lunch or mid-morning snack.

 

Keep Sugar In Check
We’re not saying to be afraid of anything sweet to your shake, but ingredients like honey and juice can quickly spike sugar & calories! Add sweetness with fruits like banana or berries, even dates! It’s also helpful to remember that there are several other food groups that can be blended in to add flavor. Think of things like avocado, dates, or peanut butter.
