Drink This Easy Banana Smoothie for Breakfast and Boost Your Energy Instantly

Here is a super simply banana breakfast recipe to start your day with tons of energy and less worries. It is super delicious and really easy to make.

Having this smoothie for breakfast will skyrocket your energy level and you will have enough strength to perform everyday activities without feeling tired at all. Your body will use the natural sugar in this smoothie, fructose, to produce glucose, which will fuel your brain and give you energy.

Bananas are rich in fiber and high in vitamins and minerals to give all the essential nutrients for your body. A banana’s combination of complex carbohydrates, natural sugar, amino acids and brain-boosting minerals make it a beneficial food for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Jamaican Olympic sprinter Yohan Blake reportedly eats 16 bananas a day. Champion tennis players Roger Federer, Novac Djokovic, and Maria Sharapova have also been snapped munching on bananas courtside. So why do so many athletes reach for this superfood?

It seems they know bananas give you energy, the right way. The sugar in a banana is different from refined sugars in cookies and candy, however. Every banana contains three different kinds of sugar. Glucose and fructose are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, so they’ll give you an energy boost fast. Sucrose acts more slowly, so it keeps your blood sugar level stable and ensures you don’t suffer the crash that comes with other sweet treats like candy and soda.

Studies back up the science too. The Appalachian State University Human Performance Lab recently found that eating half a banana every 15 minutes during a cycling time trial test aided performance just as much as drinking a sports energy drink at the same intervals.

With 3.5 grams of fiber and 1.5 grams of protein, banana can also help ward off hunger for longer periods than foods with refined carbohydrates.

Tangerine is loaded with Vitamin C, one of the most important components for boosting energyand giving you a quick lift.

Blackberries are rich in bioflavonoids and Vitamin C, but other nutritional benefits include a very low sodium count and having only 62 calories to a cup. The dark blue colour ensures blackberries have one of the highest antioxidantlevels of all fruits.

Prepare this smoothie recipe for breakfast and boost your energy instantly, that way you will be more effective and productive throughout the day.
