I may not be Irish but I do like to indulge in nutritious green drinks rich in antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals inducing organic weight loss and detoxification. One of my favorite green drink recipes is Apple Raz. I drink this religiously each morning after a 4-mile run to kick-start my metabolism.
The sweet and sour of the raspberry and red apple balance the bold flavor of the calcium rich kale.
Ingredients (Makes 4-6 Servings)
1 red apple 1 cup of raspberries 1/8 honeydew melon 1 big leaf of kale (stem removed) 1 handful of mixed baby greens 1 lemon (juice) 1 banana 1 cup of water 1 1/2 cups of ice
Blend well. Put on your favorite Irish saffron kilt. Dance until your heart is content!
Just as you need fuel to start your car’s engine and endure a long road trip, breakfast is essential in jump-starting your fat-burning engine and metabolism first thing in the morning so that you’re burning the most calories possible throughout the day. Not a fan of green drinks or smoothies? A bowl of oatmeal with berries, scrambled egg-whites with veggies and orange juice or banana is a healthy substitute. Whatever tickles your fancy, so long as it’s something rather than nothing.
Randomized studies† suggest that breakfast is the most important meal of the day so don’t make the mistake of opting out or you’ll be left with a sluggish metabolism more prone to stress and poor food choices throughout the day. Having trouble getting out of bed in the morning or feel rushed for time by the morning commute or household chaos? Plan ahead by preparing your favorite smoothie the night before using leftovers and simply grab and go in the morning on your way out the door. So what’s your healthy breakfast of choice?
