Day 1

After 5 ½ hours of sleep I cringed as my alarm clock started ringing at 6.30. I became caught up on my computer last night writing and before I knew it, it was 1am! Eeeeek, I have a huge day in clinic and need to feel sharp and snappy. I decided on a quick smoothie to make my morning easier so I assembled my ingredients, blended them and ran out the door. Here is my recipe for Day 1 of my Rio Life Acai challenge.

Ingredients

200ml oat milk (great alternative to cow or soy milk)

2 tablespoons sheep’s milk yoghurt (easier to digest that cow’s milk yoghurt)

1 teaspoon probiotics (boost my immunity)

1 tablespoon brown rice protein powder (stabilises blood sugar levels)

2 teaspoons Ultimate greens (chlorella, spirulina, barley grass – detoxifying)

½ cup frozen raspberries (antioxidant and who can resist a raspberry!)

1 tablespoon Acai powder

Blend well and throw into a SIGG travel mug and hit the road! It tastes delicious and I felt myself coming alive as I sipped it in the car and by the time I was at work I felt ready for my day!
