triple green smoothie

Begin your day off right. Kick off Monday with a triple green smoothie to rev up your day and slay your goals.

“Anti-inflammatory pineapple and ginger add a twist to the classic nutrient-dense green smoothie,” says New York City–based registered dietician, Ariana Korman, CDN. “The enzyme bromelain in pineapple has been shown to speed up muscle recovery.” Chia seeds are rehydrating while MCT oil provides healthy fats and, according to Korman, “fuels the brain and supports memory, focus, and critical thinking.” Matcha adds a hit of energy without the jitters.
