One way to power up your diet is by eating consistently. While it may seem like the opposite of what you should do, it's the simplest thing you can start doing right away.
⠀
Going for long periods of time without eating slows down your metabolism, makes it easier for you to overeat later, and messes with your energy levels. Basically, all the things we don't want.
⠀
Eating every 3-4 hours is a good goal to set, and smoothies are an easy way to get in that first meal. Ready to give this a try?
