My Breakfast POWER SMOOTHIE - Immunity Booster.

If you are like me, it can be difficult to get in all the 'right' nutrients. Smoothies are a great way to get in a bunch of goodies like nuts, seeds, fruit and even vegetables.

I have this shake 5 days a week. I make it up in the morning and sip it throughout the day. If you are short on time, you can make this the night before.

• A scoop of whey protein powder.

• One Brazil nut for your daily dose of immune-boosting selenium.
• Five teaspoons of chia seeds for fatty acids, calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium and Vitamin B3. Magnesium and vitamin B3 are especially important for the enzymatic conversion of Omega-3 ALA to Docosahexaenoic acid – an important fatty acid for brain development and function.
• Two to five teaspoons of flaxseeds for that amazing alpha linoleic acid (ALA) boost.
• One teaspoon of pumpkin seeds high in the amino acid L-tryptophan, necessary for synthesise of serotonin.
• Four to five walnut halves – one of the healthiest nuts you can eat, and also high in ALA.
• Eight to ten almonds – another good source of magnesium, fatty acids, and Vitamin E.
• Half a frozen banana, a couple of slices of pineapple, and a tablespoon of blueberries or other frozen berries or fruit for their potent antioxidant and vitamin content.
• A cup of milk of your choice
