It’s light. It’s fresh. It’s a lemon cookie in a smoothie! When you’re craving a sweet start to the morning but want to stay the healthy course, this Lemon Cookie Be Well Smoothie is a great way to go.
It gives that fresh, lemony taste with a hint of sweetness from the Be Well Vanilla Protein Powder. Avocado and flaxseeds contribute healthy fat and fiber, which turn off hunger hormones and balance blood sugar.
This smoothie hits all of the Fab Four marks – protein, fat, fiber and greens. The Fab Four is a loosely structured formula I created to ensure optimal nutrition and blood sugar balance at any meal. No dieting and no cutting out food groups. Only food freedom that’s science-backed and people-proven.
When you start your day with balanced blood sugar, it’s so much easier to maintain blood sugar balance and make good food choices the rest of the day. Why? You aren’t stepping onto the blood sugar roller coaster first thing in the morning, which creates crashes and cravings. I encourage my clients to start with breakfast. Just nail down a clean, protein-rich breakfast (20-30 grams) before working on other areas. I guarantee if you can clean up your breakfast, it’ll be that much easier to make better choices for your well being the rest of the day. I’m all about that positive momentum!
