Recipe for today’s power shake:

  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 cup of water
  • 6 dates
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (pre-soak in water)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar

Benefits:

  • Almond Milk: low in fat, but high in energy, proteins, lipids and fiber.
  • Dates: contain selenium, manganese, copper and magnesium, all of which are integral to healthy bone development and strength.
  • Banana: act as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of friendly bacteria in the gut.
  • Chia Seeds: almost all of the carbohydrates in chia seeds are fiber, and we all know why that’s important!
  • Cinnamon: antioxidants in cinnamon have anti-inflammatory effects, which may help lower the risk of disease.
  • Coconut Sugar: a healthier and more sustainable sugar option that is definitely worth trying.
