People are typically looking to shave time off their morning routines. If there are steps you can take to allow for more leisure time in the morning, you should take them, especially when they are as easy as what we are about to share with you. We know that the winter months make it near impossible to escape from the warm comfort of your bed, so use this smoothie prep to gift yourself those extra few minutes of relaxation.
Prepping smoothies is probably one of the easiest things that you can do. You put the ingredients in separate sandwich bags, freeze them, add the ingredients of one bag to a blender, add water, blend, and you are good to drink. You’ll have minimal effort on your part in the mornings and deliciousness 100% of the time, every time. The following smoothie prep is filled with tropical flavors, and they have some amazing health benefits.
Pineapple
If you didn’t already know, pineapples are great for the digestive system because they contain bromelain, which digests protein. The manganese in pineapple helps to boost the production of the enzymes that help you feel energized.
Quick Fact: Spinach has an array of minerals, antioxidants, and vitamins. While spinach may turn your smoothie green, it often does not take over the taste of other fruits.
Banana
Bananas can help fight back against gas, bloating, or water retention. They help promote healthy gut bacteria, which encourage a healthy digestive system. Nothing gets held up or blocked in the body!
