I could eat French toast, waffles or pancakes just about every day but ain’t nobody got time for that. So instead, I thought to myself, what is something I eat often, enjoy and takes little time to make? Ding ding ding, smoothies of course! I have a smoothie almost every morning because it is quick, I can make it at work and it includes the complete macronutrients and micronutrients I need to start my day. I am a creature of habit and tend to have the same smoothie concoction routinely, but it is time to change it up! This French Toast Smoothie is a high runner for one of my best smoothie creations to date!

For years I swore off meal replacement shakes. I eat real whole foods, I don’t need some shake to replace my meals I would say. Let’s rewind just over two years ago. I was eating strict paleo, working out 5-6 days a week, wasn’t seeing much progress and had low energy even though I was eating whole nutrient dense meals. A friend introduced me to Isagenix and I said absolutely not for a month or two. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to look into it a bit. To my surprise, the ingredient list was actually really good and I learned about all the awesome benefits I mentioned above. I decided to give it a try because if I didn’t like it or see a difference, I could just go right back to what I was doing. I wasn’t going to be out anything so why not. After just a couple shakes, I was almost embarrassed to admit how great I felt. The biggest difference I noticed was my motivation in the gym and my overall mood was boosted. I was so confused, how is this happening? So again, my curiosity got the best of me and I did some more research and that’s when I learned about the decline of nutrients in today’s crops. To read more about that, click here.
