Banana

Banana or banana, despite being a fruit, they are considered nutritionally as a starch, i.e. as potato, pasta or bread. Por it should be a fruit that we eat in the morning, and not as mixed meals with dessert, and much less at the dinner. The banana is excellent to prepare a good shake in the morning, beating him with a drink (milk, juice, vegetable drink) and cocoa. The result is delicious and is a good way to start the day with energy without the need to abuse the flours or added sugars, thanks to the sweetness of the plantain.

The sprouts are very nutritious, rich in vitamins and minerals, and the best thing is to eat them are growing and full of life, so give us all that vitality in its heyday. They are a good choice to eat alone, if we like, or to add them to smoothies, toast or sandwiches. We recommend especially the alfalfa and lentils.

Spinach

Green vegetables provide us with also lot of energy, so we recommend to include them in smoothies and sandwiches as a garnish. Spinach, if they are tender, taste delicious, and while the shakes will take a green color, this will not affect just to your taste. And on the other hand they bring us numerous vitamins and minerals for our health, including calcium and magnesium.
We can also try other combinations with Arugula, watercress or lettuce, since each one has a very special flavor and will help us to change our breakfasts.
