What Is Skinny Fat? How to Fix It, Examples, & More
Learn what causes “skinny fatness” and how to fix it.
Read MoreIf you’re someone that skips breakfast to save time, these smoothie recipes are for you.
Smoothies are convenient because you can quickly throw the ingredients in a blender and you’ll have a meal that’s both drinkable and portable.
Most of these recipes can be whipped up in two minutes flat, especially if you prep the ingredients the night before.
They’re also jam-packed with superfoods, meaning you’ll be getting close to your daily value for many different nutrients while enjoying a tasty breakfast or snack.
Let’s get to the recipes.
Goji berries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and even fiber.
This smoothie, by Skinny Ms, pairs gojis with another amazing berry: the strawberry, which is sweet and full of vitamin C.
One cup of strawberries contains a whopping 149% of the recommended daily value (RDV) of vitamin C. That’s more than one regular sized orange.
Vitamin C helps our bodies absorb iron from plant-based foods and enables the immune system to protect us from illness. It’s also needed to make collagen, which is vital for healthy skin.

This aptly-named ass kicking kale and pineapple smoothie contains 27 grams of protein, thanks to Greek yogurt, milk, and peanut butter.
Meanwhile, pineapple is a rich source of manganese, which is essential in developing strong bones and connective tissue. The quarter cup used in this smoothie contains 20% of your RDV of manganese.

Blueberries, ground flaxseed, spinach, Greek yogurt, and coconut milk make for an impressive list of superfoods.
Lee at Fit Foodie Finds had the genius idea of adding all these ingredients together to create this incredibly tasty smoothie.
One cup of blueberries contains 35% of the RDV of vitamin K. This fat-soluble vitamin is important for keeping your bones healthy and reducing your risk of osteoporosis.

While smoothies are great for a quick, on-the-go meal, sometimes you want to sit down and enjoy breakfast at a leisurely pace.
Enter, the smoothie bowl.
It’s exactly as it sounds—a smoothie in a bowl, but there’s something more satisfying about eating breakfast with a spoon rather than gulping it down from a glass.
You can also sprinkle on toppings for some additional texture. That extra chewing can help you slow down and enjoy the meal more.
Blissful Basil’s smoothie bowl recipe is topped with plenty of crunchy superfood garnishes to keep you healthy and full.
It also tastes crazy good.

Avocado, which makes this breakfast so creamy, is loaded with fiber, vitamins, and healthy monounsaturated fat.

This smoothie by Turnip the Oven is an awesome way to use up leftover cooked quinoa from another recipe.
Quinoa has been used to fuel people since the days of the Inca warriors, and for good reason. It’s one of the most nutrient-dense whole grains, containing hefty amounts of magnesium, phosphorous, and manganese. One cup of quinoa boasts 39 g of carbs, 8 g of protein and 15% of your RDV of iron.

If you want to get on the smoothie bandwagon, but can’t shake the idea of oatmeal for breakfast, this recipe by Martha Stewart will help you make the transition.
In addition to the heart-healthy whole grains, this smoothie contains Greek yogurt, which is packed with protein.
This awesome smoothie also contains coconut oil which is full of lauric acid, an antiviral that also helps balance cholesterol levels. Make sure to melt the coconut oil before adding to the smoothie or you’ll end up with lumps!

Don’t let the name put you off this healthy smoothie recipe.
It may look like swamp water, but it tastes amazing.

This superfood combo features turmeric, a spice that contains curcumin.

"Dieting" doesn't have to suck. You CAN eat foods you like and have the body you want!
Click Here to Learn HowWhat if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?
What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?
What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?
And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?
In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?
Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.
And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.
Well, I have good news.
All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.
You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.
And this book will show you the way.

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.
That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.
“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.
That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.
If you want to ensure the supplements you’re swallowing every day are safe and effective, you want products produced in the USA.
That’s why all of our supplements are made in America in NSF-certified and FDA-inspected facilities that operate in accordance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) regulations.
Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?
That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.
That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.
Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.
Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.
Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.
Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.
We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout drink.
Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.
While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.
Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.
It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
If you don’t absolutely love this product, just let us know, and we’ll give you a full refund on the spot. No forms or return necessary.
Analyzed for purity and potency in a state-of-the-art ISO 17025 accredited lab by Labdoor™, the gold standard of third-party lab testing.
