Good Morning Green Drink

By Amee Livingston 2 Comments

This good morning green drink will give your day a healthy start. It’s a breakfast drink packed with healthy, whole food ingredients, The drink recipe is paleo and Whole30 approved, too!

March 1st was the beginning of the Whole 30 Challenge at our gym.  It’s a whole food Paleo nutrition challenge to detox your body from foods that can have a negative impact on your health.  The goal of the challenge is to change the way you think about food, increase energy levels, improve athletic performance, improve overall health and build lean body mass.  

You cannot out-train a bad diet!  Good nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand for a healthy body.  If you would like more detailed information about this challenge, you can find it at Whole 9 Life.  My friend and fellow coach at Crossfit Essentials, Kevin, drinks this good morning green drink with his breakfast.  I love all the nutrients packed into this breakfast drink! It provides the vitamins, minerals, carbs and fiber needed to kick start your day.  Kale is a great source of calcium when you are not eating dairy.   

Also, it’s important to make sure that you get plenty of green and nutrient dense vegetables into your daily diet when eliminating grains and beans.  There is nothing in grains that you cannot get from fruits and vegetables, but you must eat them to prevent deficiencies in your diet.  Try to eat a big, healthy salad, or you can choose to drink your nutrients in a delicious and healthy way!

This good morning green drink recipe packs it all in!  Enjoy.
