Three Ingredient Morning Smoothie and Some Big News

Mornings are crazy here.  I think that's pretty much the case in any body's house who's trying to get out the door by a particular time!  This post is dedicated to everyone who thinks they don't have time to get a healthy start to the morning.

Here's my go-to to make sure I get some fuel for the morning.

You'll Need:
Frozen berries or other fruit mix
Coconut Water or Coconut Almond Milk
Chia Seeds

Pour frozen fruit into blender.  Most blenders have measurements on the side - about 6 or 8 oz. is good
Pour Coconut Water and/or Coconut Almond Milk (the combo is good, too) over the berries - enough to cover
Scoop about 2 Tablespoons of Chia Seeds on top
Blend, pour into a cup and you're done!

Seriously, it takes less than five minutes and it's so refreshing!  I can't wait to have this on those 80 degree Alabama summer mornings...

When I'm really motivated, I throw a handful of baby spinach into this for an extra nutrition boost.

The Chia seeds will give you energy without a nose dive drop a few hours later; they provide endurance and are regenerating, as well.  These little magic wonders were considered superfoods even by the Aztecs and the Mayans.  They soak up water like crazy therefore helping you stay hydrated longer.  The coconut water is good for hydration and gives you about a banana's worth of potassium for your day.  I use berries because you get the most bang for your buck - they have the highest amount of nutrients with the lowest amount of sugar compared to other fruits.

So What's the Big News????
