If you haven't started to drink green tea; then it's about time! Specially if you want to spike that metabolism and burn more calories. Green tea has amazing health benefits and you can make most of it by also using it in your daily smoothie as an alternative to coconut water or almond milk for instance. Besides improving your metabolism, it's also rich in antioxidants and reduces bad cholesterol. Pineapple on the other hand, provides nearly 100% of vitamin C and manganese RDAs. Whilst the avocado is an anti-inflammatory powerhouse and chia seeds contributes to your fibre intake. Yes this is a meal on its very own and you can have it for breakfast or dinner. Add 1 tbsp whey after a workout (use 150 ml green tea), and enjoy the freshness!
