SPICED PUMPKIN SMOOTHIE TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY
Energy Boosting Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie
Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie to Boost Your Energy. Are you needing a little something to give your sluggish morning a boost of energy? Well, check this spiced pumpkin smoothie out as it tastes just like you’re having a slice of pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie for breakfast? Yup … pumpkin pie for breakfast – yummo
This smoothie sports a double dose of magnesium, (thanks to the pumpkin and cashews), and magnesium is what helps your body convert food into energy. And if you really want a burst of energy, add in a tablespoon of Chaga Powder. You’ll be surprised by how energized you’ll feel.
So what else is in this Energizing Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie?
INGREDIENT BENEFITS
Cashews – packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals especially magnesium which is great for energy
Pumpkin – is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and phytochemicals; is a great source of vitamin C, an antioxidant known for strengthening the immune system and boosting collagen production; high in magnesium, potassium, and protein – all needed for energy; also contains vitamin A, beta carotene, iron, fiber, and folate
Dates – A serving of power-packed dates contains 31 grams of carbohydrates making them a powerhouse of energy; these carbs include 3 grams of dietary fiber and 29 grams of naturally occurring sugars such as fructose, glucose, and sucrose to provide quick energy
Pumpkin Pie Spice – a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves – which carry energy vitamins and nutrients of their own, along with a healthy dose of antioxidants and antimicrobial agents
Coconut Water – is low in calories and contains natural enzymes and minerals like potassium that make it a super drink; will give an instant boost of energy
Chaga – the king of energy, is rich in fiber and essential nutrients, including vitamin D, iron, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and calcium; is believed to fight inflammation, lower blood sugar, reduce blood pressure, alleviate arthritis, and even prevent or slow the progression of cancer
Greek Yogurt – full of Vitamin B12 which is necessary for energy and healthy brain function; also provides simple sugar carbs such as lactose and galactose which are ready to use energy
If you already have Chaga Powder on your shelves – that’s great. Add a teaspoon or tablespoon to your soups, hot brews, and smoothies. But if you’re in the market for some, I highly recommend Natural Foods Organic Chaga. Here you can purchase the Chaga at a great price and have it delivered to you in days.
