Just 6 simple ingredients make a protein-packed coffee smoothie to keep you energized and feeling good this morning.
How you break your fast with Intermittent Fasting will largely determine if you’re going to achieve your wellness or weight loss goals, how you’re going to feel the rest of the day and how you will recover from your workout earlier in the day.
Today’s breakfast smoothie focuses on easing the transition from a fasted to a fed state while allowing the body to more easily use fat as fuel.
This Vanilla Coconut Latte Smoothie incorporates high quality sources of protein in order to boost satiety, prevent sugar cravings and work toward a body recomposition goal.(1)
It also contains fiber to help act on the stretch mechanism in the stomach, which in turn tells the brain that you don’t need to keep eating.
Lastly, this Vanilla Coconut Latte Smoothie uses multiple sources of high quality fats in order to boost the satiety hormone cholecystokinin and help ensure that you won’t be hungry during your next fast.
All of these factors combined are what is important to consider for how to break a fast.
