After reading The Micronutrient Miracle and feeling like I was definitely slacking on getting my micronutrients, I created this smoothie recipe that's been my daily pick-me-up for the last few weeks. It's full of probiotics thanks to the kefir and yogurt, has great gut-healing qualities thanks to the collagen peptides, and loads of micronutrients from the berries and Rootz Nutrition Pre-Workout. Now, if you follow along on snapchat, you know that I've always been wary of pre-workout powders. Most of them are full of gut-irritating fillers and loaded with chemicals that leave you feeling jittery at best or running to the bathroom at worst. But when I took a look at the Rootz Nutrition pre-workout, I was impressed. I have heard of, and can pronounce, every single ingredient in the package. No fillers or junk at all. It is Paleo-friendly and non-gmo, and contains no soy, dairy, or gluten, so it's easy to digest. You can use code yogabycandace for 10% off, if you want to give it a try!

Ingredients for Energy Boosting Morning Smoothie Recipe

Ok so here's what I do:

1. Pull out my Vitamix and add:

2. Two to three heaping tablespoons of whole fat plain yogurt, 1/3 cup of goat's milk kefir, a scoop of the collagen peptides, a scoop of the Rootz Nutrition pre-workout, and a handful of frozen mixed berries.

3. Blend on high until completely blended and drink up!
