It’s somewhat difficult to not be in a healthy mindset at the beginning of the year. It’s contagious! Messages advising us that we NEED to get in shape are everywhere. While this motivation is great, I think it’s important to make smaller efforts that are more likely to stick with our busy routines.
One of those small efforts could be simply adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet. The USDA recommends about five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, depending on who you are. You can find a handy little chart here. Breakfast is the perfect time to get a few of these servings out of the way. I absolutely love to enjoy a delish and nutrish smoothie in the morning – they’re perfect for on-the-go. This blueberry + avocado detox smoothie is packed full of powerful antioxidants to start your morning on a healthy and nourishing note.
