Boost Your Fat Burn!
You’ll reap the benefits all day from eating breakfast: A morning meal starts
your body from an energy-conserving state, into calorie-burning gear
without effort…And studies show that breakfast eaters concentrate better and are more
productive-as well as less likely to be obese- than breakfast skippers. This easy,
satisfying recipe features ingredients like green tea that give your metabolism an added jolt.
Blueberry & Green Tea Smoothie
Antioxidants abound in this refreshing- and filling- breakfast drink. Green tea and blueberries
protect your cells from free radicals, which damage DNA in the mitochondria, the key players in
your body’s calorie-burning engine. Almonds provide natural protein and healthy
monounsaturated fat, while flaxseed adds inflammation-fighting omega-3 fats to the mix.
Brewing the tea the night before, saves time in the morning. Drink one smoothie today and refrigerate the other serving for tomorrow.
