This smoothie will support your brain due to the high amount of good fats in the absence of sugar. Either cherries or berries are not sweet which makes this smoothie more savoury.
A smoothie that is supposed to replace a meal, such as breakfast, should always contain ample amounts of complete protein, quality fats and fibre. A well composed smoothie will support blood glucose balance throughout the day which will positively impact your stress response, weight loss hormones, metabolic performance and energy.
Smoothies are also a convenient way to include many functional foods in one meal, from antioxidant rich fruits, good fats, probiotic foods and collagen to raw egg yolks.
Ingredients:
Big handful of frozen cherries or assorted berries (forest fruit mix available in most shops)
1 table spoon of almond butter
1 table spoon of coconut oil
1 table spoon of ghee
2 tea spoons of chia seeds
1 serving of protein powder like whey isolate or vegan, ideally together with 1 serving of collagen
2 egg yolks (read here why I recommend raw egg yolks)
Water, to achieve a desired consistency
Instructions:
Blend and enjoy.
To feel fuller for longer, use crunchy toppings like almond flakes, toasted coconut chips and cacao nibs (or just one of them). This will stimulate chewing, which plays a big role in satiety signalling and smooth digestion.
