I recently discovered a quick and easy breakfast alternative that keeps me feeling fully energized throughout the day. Smoothies are a great, healthy meal replacement, especially when you’re short on time in the morning. Adding a tablespoon of Kelapo coconut oil into your smoothie will leave you feeling full longer and prevent the pesky sugar crash. Coconut oil helps reduce hunger and provides a great source of energy. This green tropical smoothie is an amazing step towards a healthy lifestyle this new year!
