Chocolate Smoothie Powerhouse

Among my favorites is chocolate smoothie powerhouse. Listed on my top five list. I will pick this recipe when I feel stressed or overwhelmed. You may try, too, and you feel much better. I promise.

When you feel that your immune system is low on energy you need protein boost. You may also try a superfood smoothie before or to get you up and running.

Start the day with a healthy chocolate powerhouse

I don’t know if listen to your body much. I’m always listening to my body, it is vital you do it first in the morning. Likewise, I don’t know about you, but I crave different foods and drinks depending on my mood, day time, fatigue and/or when I feel mentally exhausted.

I need to stay alert, feel alive, otherwise I can’t be productive and for me having a positive and healthy mindset is ultra important. Other smoothie I like to make is blueberry, cherry maca powder helps improve my daily productivity and stay alert almost all day.

Don’t have time for a super energetic smoothie? That is Nonsense.

You said I struggle to get up, etc I know the drill. Don’t let “I don’t have much time” thoughts fool you, or stop you getting healthy. Instead start the day by saying affirmation phrases like:

“I enjoy taking time to create or make important things for myself”. And my health is super important. My family and I, come first always. After that, everything else gets easier when I take care of me first. Yeah, be a bit selfish.

It happens to feel a bit stressed or irritated, specially if you have to respect deadlines. When that happens, I say to myself – “deep breathing, and stay calm”.

I work from home, so I can easily make a few steps into the kitchen and make some cozy healthy drinks or smoothies that help me turn things around.

For example, in the morning I got up, drank a glass of water and when I am not walking the dog I exercise – I then drink a coffee with homemade banana and pecan cake. Then, 2 hours later, start my Gigong for 40 minutes (Ba Duan Jin includes deep breathing ) to reinvigorate me. Followed by my smoothie. It only takes me 3-4 minutes to make it.

Which chocolate is healthy for you and why?

Dark chocolate is the best. It was used by the Mayas to help them start the day. Experts guessed that it is loaded with quality nutrients that will protect us and can improve our health. Studies shown that dark chocolate (not the mixed) is one of the reasons that people have less risk of heart disease.

Cacao is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet until this day.

Chocolate is super healthy, if the Mayas drunk it daily, they knew something about its health benefits.
