The Performance Pickup

As we head into fall, it seems that our schedules just keep getting busier and busier. While some individuals may thrive having an on-the-go schedule, others may feel overwhelmed trying to keep up.

At times I myself feel exhausted at the end of my week, no matter how fun and exciting it may be. In order to pick me up and make sure I am fueling my body with enough energy, I love making this awesome smoothie to help me recharge. Here are the ingredients below!

STAR INGREDIENT: WALNUTS

Why: Walnuts are high in omega 3 fatty acids, which protect the brain and improve cognitive health.

Their high levels of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals also improve mental alertness. The properties of walnuts also protect against inflammation which can effect the brain.

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cups frozen blueberries

1/2 cup frozen raspberries

1/4 cup raw walnuts

1 scoop plant based protein powder 1 cup almond or coconut milk

1 tablespoon hemp seeds 2 teaspoon honey

Take all of your ingredients and blend them together. After that, pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!
