Boost Your Metabolism with a Morning Smoothie!

 Did you know that a delicious tasting smoothie for breakfast can boost your metabolism and help you lose weight faster?

Here’s how it works. The types of foods you choose to eat in the morning will determine what your blood sugar levels will be throughout the day. For this reason, the type of breakfast you consume can actually cause weight loss.

High carbohydrate foods (other than ones low on the glycemic index) cause blood sugar levels to skyrocket and then plummet. Conversely, when you consume a high protein meal, your metabolism will quickly rise, and your blood sugar levels will remain high for five to six hours longer. Study after study shows us that if the breakfast meal is the right combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fat to help slow down the digestion, then sugar will be absorbed into the bloodstream gradually. Consequently, energy levels stay high longer while fat-making insulin levels are lowered.

For this reason, if you drink a fruit smoothie that is supplemented with protein and healthy fats, you get the combination of carbohydrates, protein, and fat that will boost your metabolism, help get your blood sugar levels for the day off to a good start, and last but not least, help you lose weight faster.

My personal Smoothie King(R) favorite is the Chocolate or Almond Mocha High Protein(TM).
