Green Tea

All the time, we hear that green tea is good for our metabolism, but why exactly? Caffeine does have a positive effect on our metabolisms, but the powerful component of green tea is a compound called ECGCs. ECGS have a thermogenic effect that increases fat burn in the liver and also inhibit lipase, an enzyme that absorbs fat in the digestive tract. In addition to all of that, green tea has been proven to increase satiety, making you feel less hungry.easy fat burning smoothie recipes If you’re looking for a great green tea, I love Organic Sencha.

TIPS FOR A METABOLISM BOOSTING BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

• I keep bananas, grapefruit, oranges, pineapple, and berries in my freezer at all times so I can always make a delicious smoothie. I also like to freeze greens like spinach, so I can always have them on hand. Remember to buy your bananas green and freeze them before they ripen for the lowest sugar content and highest resistant starch content.
• I love Biochem Natural Whey Protein Powder. It’s grass-fed whey, and it’s unflavored, meaning to artificial flavors or sweeteners. Keeping chemicals OUT of your diet is as important to your metabolism as what you keep IN your diet! Sub this whey with any vegan or paleo protein supplement if you have those dietary needs.
• Other ideas to boost the protein, if you’d prefer not to use a protein supplement, are hemp seeds and chia seeds. Both are great vegan sources of protein, are easily digested, and add protein and fiber, in addition to omega 3s.
