BREAKFAST

The start of this glorious morning – a smoothie made out of coconut, both the water and it’s meat, banana, mango and bee pollen. It’s not only tasty but also very nutritious, here is why.

To just name two of many benefits of coconut water it will boost my immune system and rehydrate me after a night of sleep. And by eating some of its meat I will help my body to easier absorb the minerals found in the next ingredient, the banana, which contains a large amount of potassium and magnesium. These two minerals both play a large role in healthy muscle tissue. The high dietary fiber in the coconut and banana will also keep me full for longer.

I’m pretty sure that I’ve told you guys that mango is my absolute favorite, I mean what’s not to love about this sweet refreshing fruit?? And if the flavor isn’t enough it’s nice to know that its high antioxidant content will protect me agains cancer and the vitamin A content will help me see in the dark. Mangos also contain a lot of vitamin C which makes it easier for my body to absorb my daily supplement of reishi mushroom, vitamin C actually makes my body absorb up to NINE times more of the reishi mushrooms nutrients!

I know that I just made a post about the health benefits of bee pollen yesterday but it’s worth to repeat. Bee pollen contains Vitamin C, A, K, D, E, B vitamins including B12, B1 thiamine, B6 pyridoxine, B3 niacin, B2 riboflavin, choline, biotine, inositol, folic acid, phosphorus, manganese, iodine, titanium, silicon, sulfur, magnesium, chlorine, sodium, copper, zinc, boron, molybdenum, fructose, glucose, nucleic acids, amines, lycopene, triglycerides, a large amount of enzymes and ALL essential amino acids! Got that? Basically – bee pollen is good for you!

Have a great day everyone,
Love Karolina
