]]> While exercise is a crucial part of boosting your fitness, adopting a healthy diet is just as important.

Breakfast Super Shake

Grab some full-fat milk, yogurt, blueberries, goji berries, and a banana, and place them in a blender. Then, mix the ingredients until smooth. If you’re in the mood to experiment with different flavors, consider adding some cinnamon or honey to the mix.

Vanilla Protein Smoothie

If you enjoy creamy vanilla milkshakes, then this healthy alternative is right up your alley. Place vanilla, milk, banana, greek yogurt, coconut oil, and pineapple in your blender and mix well.

]]> Constipation—how can you prevent it and make sure you stay regular? You want to make sure you eat foods that are rich in fiber and drink lots of water. Fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate that is found in plant foods and comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Soluble dissolves in water and insoluble doesn’t dissolve and forms a gel to create a softer stool for you to pass. Both are needed in your diet to keep you regular. Here are five foods to eat that are high in fiber that can prevent constipation.

Apples

Apples have 5g of fiber per fruit. They are a great snack food, and you can drizzle some peanut butter on them to make them tastier.

Whole Grains

A balanced diet should include lots of whole grains such as quinoa or oats which are rich in fiber and really filling. Try to eat oats in the morning and some quinoa for lunch to get your fiber quota for the day.

Chia Seeds

Chia seeds are really high in fiber—they have 10g per ounce! They are easy to incorporate into your diet. Just add them to your granola or make a chia seed pudding for your breakfast.

Prunes

Prunes are regularly eaten for constipation as they have a high sorbitol content and contain 11g of fiber per cup. You can eat them on their own or blend into a filling smoothie.

]]> Food is like medicine—it’s necessary to maintain your physical body, your brain and your mood. Eating naturally good foods can work wonders for your energy levels, keeping you satisfied and satiated. Here are four superfoods to eat to boost your mood.

Red Bell Pepper

We bet you didn’t know that red bell peppers actually have more Vitamin C than an orange. They are the most nutritious of all bell peppers, they are low calorie and contain other vitamins and minerals to improve your mood.

Nut Butter

It doesn’t matter if you prefer cashew butter over peanut butter—all nut butters are energy-boosting and filled with protein and healthy fats. Adding nut butter to a smoothie, a piece of toast or just eating it straight from the jar can fill you up and stop you from indulging in less nutritious foods.

Salmon

Salmon is a well-known brain food. It has high numbers of omega-3 fatty acids and helps to maintain the central nervous system. It is also a great source of protein and may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Figs

Figs are a superfood that can actually help to aid your sleep and help your mood. They are filled with potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron which help with blood flow and muscle relaxation to help you fall asleep.

Beware, though, as some smoothies are higher in fat and lower in vitamins and minerals than others, so look at the ingredients before you blend. Here are three healthier smoothies that are great for breakfast.

Green Smoothie

This smoothie can be changed up every day, depending on what greens you have in your refrigerator. One day you can add spinach and the next day kale. Mix in some greek yogurt, bananas, pineapple, apple, celery, and some chia seeds and you have yourself a filling and nutritious smoothie.

Golden Milk Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

This is a sweet tropical smoothie with tons of pineapple, mango, banana, turmeric, and whatever else you want to add. The color is so pretty and it will keep you satisfied until lunch.

Peanut Butter and Banana Protein Smoothie

There is nothing better than the combination of peanut butter and bananas, and with the addition of protein powder, this smoothie tastes like a thick milkshake. All you need is frozen bananas, peanut butter, milk of choice, oats, and protein and you have yourself a very energizing breakfast.

]]> Different foods can help to improve your workout for different reasons. Eating carbs and protein together before a workout can really boost your energy, improve your performance and recovery. Your muscles use the glucose from carbs for fuel, while protein has been shown to increase muscle protein synthesis. Fat is also important for long and low intensity workouts. And don’t forget—you want to be hydrated with lots of water before and during your workout.

Here are four foods for you to eat before your workout.

Oatmeal with Banana and Almonds

If your workout is within two hours, then this is a great meal to consume. The oatmeal is filling and slow burning, so it’s guaranteed to keep you energized throughout your entire workout.

Greek Yogurt and Fruit

If your workout is within the hour and you need something light and easy to digest, greek yogurt and fruit is a great snack. You’ll get lots of energy from the fruit and protein from the yogurt.

Protein Bar

If you are working out early morning and you need something quick to grab, a protein bar is the easiest option. Usually, protein bars have a good amount of carbs and about 20-25g of protein. It won’t keep you full for long, but it will give you energy throughout your workout.

Avocado Toast With Eggs

If you have time for a nice filling breakfast long before your workout, then mashed avocado on whole wheat toast with an egg of choice should be your go-to. You have your carbs from the bread, fat from the avocado and protein from the eggs.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Bananas are one of the must-have smoothie ingredients, and you can mix them up with pretty much anything, but they’ll taste better than ever if you pair them with peanut butter.

Strawberry Smoothie

Strawberry smoothies are a timeless classic, and if you still don’t have your go-to recipe for this delicious treat, Rivers is here to help you out.

Mixed Berry Smoothie

The more berries you add to your smoothie, the more delicious it will taste. Rivers seems to agree, and she made sure to add as many berries to the mix as possible when making this refreshing and flavorful beverage.

Pineapple Smoothie

If you want to make your smoothies sweet and delicious without any added sugar or sweeteners in the mix, some juicy pineapple will get you there.

Peach Smoothie

Peaches will also do a great job giving your smoothies a natural sweet note, in addition to making them as creamy as it gets.

]]> In addition to being super-healthy, smoothies are incredibly quick and easy to make, but that doesn’t mean they’ll taste perfect every time. If your smoothie is missing something to taste as amazing as you want it to be, use these hacks to improve it without compromising its healthy properties.

Make It Creamy

You’ll need to have the perfect balance between liquid and solid ingredients to make your smoothies perfectly creamy. Ice cream and yogurt can get the job done, but you should avoid them at all costs. Opt for avocados instead, but use them in moderation due to their high-fat content.

Make It Sweet

Fruits will do a great job adding their natural sweetness to smoothies, but what if it’s too much or not enough? Lemon juice can be used to make your smoothies less sweet. When it comes to adding sweetness, avoid sugar and opt for natural sweeteners, but don’t go overboard.

Make It Thick

Smoothies that are too thick can be easily fixed with the addition of more liquids. On the other hand, if your smoothies lack thickness, don’t pour too much water or milk into the blender, and try to use frozen fruits whenever possible.

]]> While smoothies are perfect for on-the-go and they’re super convenient, they’re not always the most filling. They’re heavy on fruits and sweeteners which can leave you feeling hungry not long after you’ve had one. To make your smoothie more satisfying, you need to add healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Here’s what should go into your smoothie.

Proteins From Milk

Protein from milk has all the essential amino acids your body needs as well as calcium and magnesium. Casein and whey protein can be found in milk or Greek yogurt, and including these in your smoothie will help you feel fuller longer.

Raisins

Instead of adding sugar or syrups, throw in some California raisins. Raisins have potassium and fiber, and the fiber will keep you feeling full.

Pulses

Pules are dry, edible seeds of legumes, and they include chickpeas, lentils, split peas, and beans. They’re loaded with plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants. When adding pulses, make sure they are cooked.

Peanut Butter

For plant-based protein, fiber, healthy fat, vitamins, and minerals, add a spoonful of peanut butter to your smoothie. We suggest making a peanut butter, banana, and honey smoothie, which is super delicious and satisfying.

]]> If you are bored of the same, bland protein shakes you drink after every workout, maybe it’s time for a change. Here is a list of tips to changing up your protein shake.

Use a Good Quality Blender

Invest in a good quality blender. It might be expensive, but it will do the job and last you a long time. Always keep in mind: the stronger the blender, the better.

Don’t Forget the Veggies

Adding vegetables into your smoothie adds nutrition and fiber. Spinach, celery, and cucumber are great choices. Ginger and parsley are perfect for soothing your stomach.

Invest in Good Quality Protein Powder

When buying a protein powder, always check the ingredients. Look for the ones that are 100 percent whey, egg-white, or casein protein. Also, choose one that’s low in carbohydrates.

Always Have Frozen Fruits In Your Freezer

Frozen fruits usually have more nutrition that the fresh fruit.

]]> In addition to being super-healthy, smoothies are incredibly quick and easy to make, but that doesn’t mean they’ll taste perfect every time. If your smoothie is missing something to taste as amazing as you want it to be, use these hacks to improve it without compromising its healthy properties.

Make It Creamy

You’ll need to have the perfect balance between liquid and solid ingredients to make your smoothies perfectly creamy. Ice cream and yogurt can get the job done, but you should avoid them at all costs. Opt for avocados instead, but use them in moderation due to their high-fat content.

Make It Sweet

Fruits will do a great job adding their natural sweetness to smoothies, but what if it’s too much or not enough? Lemon juice can be used to make your smoothies less sweet. When it comes to adding sweetness, avoid sugar and opt for natural sweeteners, but don’t go overboard.

Make It Thick

Smoothies that are too thick can be easily fixed with the addition of more liquids. On the other hand, if your smoothies lack thickness, don’t pour too much water or milk into the blender, and try to use frozen fruits whenever possible.

]]> While smoothies are perfect for on-the-go and they’re super convenient, they’re not always the most filling. They’re heavy on fruits and sweeteners which can leave you feeling hungry not long after you’ve had one. To make your smoothie more satisfying, you need to add healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Here’s what should go into your smoothie.

Proteins From Milk

Protein from milk has all the essential amino acids your body needs as well as calcium and magnesium. Casein and whey protein can be found in milk or Greek yogurt, and including these in your smoothie will help you feel fuller longer.

Raisins

Instead of adding sugar or syrups, throw in some California raisins. Raisins have potassium and fiber, and the fiber will keep you feeling full.

Pulses

Pules are dry, edible seeds of legumes, and they include chickpeas, lentils, split peas, and beans. They’re loaded with plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants. When adding pulses, make sure they are cooked.

Peanut Butter

For plant-based protein, fiber, healthy fat, vitamins, and minerals, add a spoonful of peanut butter to your smoothie. We suggest making a peanut butter, banana, and honey smoothie, which is super delicious and satisfying.

]]> If you are bored of the same, bland protein shakes you drink after every workout, maybe it’s time for a change. Here is a list of tips to changing up your protein shake.

Use a Good Quality Blender

Invest in a good quality blender. It might be expensive, but it will do the job and last you a long time. Always keep in mind: the stronger the blender, the better.

Don’t Forget the Veggies

Adding vegetables into your smoothie adds nutrition and fiber. Spinach, celery, and cucumber are great choices. Ginger and parsley are perfect for soothing your stomach.

Invest in Good Quality Protein Powder

When buying a protein powder, always check the ingredients. Look for the ones that are 100 percent whey, egg-white, or casein protein. Also, choose one that’s low in carbohydrates.

Always Have Frozen Fruits In Your Freezer

Frozen fruits usually have more nutrition that the fresh fruit.
