Very often, in the morning, we don't really know what we can eat... Indeed, the media saturates us with information on what we can or cannot eat and this can tend to send us towards indecision and a feeling of being fed up with food in general. How many people sink into orthorexia (a form of obsession with the quality of food), always unjustified in wanting to find the right nutritional balance? Unfortunately, what is valid for some will not be valid for others because in terms of nutrition, we are all different, we all balance differently, we all have different needs and above all, we all have different digestion.

That's why, in this article, I want to suggest some smoothie recipes to consume in the morning, according to your needs. Some people will not find it interesting to boost their energy as soon as they wake up, while others will.

Take into consideration, nevertheless, that smoothies should be consumed sparingly so certainly not on a daily basis. Indeed, the food balance also passes by the diversity.

Why not test what would work best for you?

Smoothies to boost immunity

For a contribution in iron, vitamins C and omega 3: ideal if you miss energy, if you have a fall of mode or a tendency to be quickly sick.

For a vitamin A intake

• 1 small bunch of black grapes

Blend in a blender with 200 ml of filtered water.

For a magnesium contribution: ideal if you are often subjected to stressful situations and you would like an adapted nutritional contribution. Due to the high amount of brazil nuts, we do not recommend drinking this smoothie every day. In fact, this type of smoothie could be drunk 1X/week at most.

• 75 grams of Brazil nuts
• The equivalent of one tablespoon of coconut oil
• 1 medjool date, pitted
• 1 teaspoon of small raw cacao seeds

Blend in a blender with 300 ml of filtered water.

The smoothie to protect the colon

When the intestine is in pain, the entire immune system suffers. So, it will be important to provide food protection.

For a contribution in lactobacillus and calcium

• 1 peeled banana
• 1/3 peeled pineapple (not canned)
•  2 handfuls of spinach
• 150 ml of organic full-fat yogurt

Blend in a blender/blender until smooth.

The Detox Smoothie

To help the liver to ensure its fall drainage. The liver is a very important emunctorial organ when you are looking for a perfect immunity. Therefore, ensuring its drainage through food is an ideal solution to start the day.

• 2 handfuls of kale
• A sprig of parsley
• 1 peeled kiwi
• 1 lime, peeled
• 4 broccoli florets
• 1 bunch of white grapes
• ½ teaspoon spirulina powder

Blend in a blender with 200 ml of filtered water.

Some rules for properly consuming a smoothie:

• In order to consume a smoothie properly, we recommend that you choose the "mache". Indeed, by chewing lightly on your drink, you allow your digestive system to be more reactive, more ready and therefore more able to ensure a perfect digestion.
• Ensure a higher proportion of vegetables than fruits.
• Although it is not indicated in the recipes, adding a dash of vegetable oil (flax, rapeseed, camelina) allows a better assimilation of fat-soluble vitamins. Moreover, if you choose an oil rich in omega 3, you allow the balance of the ration omega 3 / omega 6.
• Give preference to ingredients of organic origin.

Enjoy your meal.
