3. Brain Fuel Smoothie
Got a challenging day up ahead? This ‘brain fuel’ smoothie should provide your grey matter with everything it needs to face any challenge that comes your way!
Protein powder
½ banana
1-2 tsp coconut oil
1t cinnamon
1-2tsp yerba mate green tea
This combination is a powerful smoothie for anyone looking to boost their concentration and focus. The first thing of interest in here is the protein powder. Protein is brain food because it is where we get our amino acids – with amino acids being key players in the creation of numerous neurotransmitters. In short, our brain needs protein to function properly and protein powder (whey protein) is a great place to get it.
Next up, we have banana and coconut oil, which we have already seen the benefits of. Coconut oil, in particular, is crucial for brain power and it’s actually the key ingredient in a lot of products designed to enhance brain performance – like ‘Bullet Proof Coffee’ and like ‘Brain Octane’ oil.
