3 WAYS TO ENERGIZE YOUR BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE:
==========================================
Not too keen on caffeine? No worries. There are other natural ways to give your breakfast smoothie an extra power zing.

BEE POLLEN:
This supplement is rich in vitamins and minerals, enzymes and amino acids. Bee pollen is known for its ability for boosting energy, promoting longevity [1], and an excellent source of protein [2]. When adding to breakfast smoothies, the recommendation is that you use bee pollen granules.

Add one teaspoon and blend with the other ingredients. (Note: bee products are not recommended for people who suffer from asthma.)[3]

GINSENG:
Frequently used to fight fatigue and flagging strength, ginseng is a good way of creating an energy smoothie [4].

Panax ginseng, known for its energizing and adaptogenic properties, has been found to have a positive effect on athletic performance, reaction time and visual/motor coordination [5].

Available in standardized extract form, a suggested amount of ginseng to be added a smoothie is 20-30 drops [6].

GLUTEN FREE OAT BRAN:
While nutritionally similar whole wheat, structurally, oats have their kernels whereas wheat have their kernels removed [7]. Adding oats to your smoothie is an excellent way of boosting its protein and fibre content. Moreover, oats are a good source of zinc, vitamins and iron too [8].

The fibre in oat bran is the soluble kind, which has been found to lower cholesterol [9].

Sub the espresso in the above recipe with 2 tablespoonfuls of gluten free oat bran.
