I'm never really hungry when I wake up. But I usually like to start the day off with something citrusy. Bowl of oranges, bowl of grapefruit, etc...

I drink a green smoothie in the morning. Here's my big blend ( I split this with my husband)

1/2 a mango
1 cup blueberries
1 orange
2 cups spinach
1 carrot
1 small vine tomato
1 cup water
1 tbls vanilla protein powder

It's really filling and keeps me going until lunch. I'm not usually hungry until 1:00.

Lukewarm water with fresh squeezed lemon to alkalize the body + a pinch of cayenne pepper to boost metabolism and stimulate peristaltic motion of the intestines. Cayenne pepper has also the ability to warm up the body, so quite useful when one lives in cold climates. Hope it helps to spice up your day :)

After water upon waking, I've been doing green juice around 11 or 12 lately, sometimes blended with a persimmon or apple. When that digests I'll have some blended fruit and celery. The high concentration of greens makes me not hungry for hours, till about 4.

Helllooo Hanne MSM is MethylSulfonylMethane Organic sulfur,which should be naturally occuring in our food,but due to foods grown in glass/hot houses and irrigated food its sadly lacking,it is in rain water..
its fabulous stuff :)

i find i'm so much more hydrated when i have alot of water in the morning after rising and then waiting a while before eating. i need less water in the day when i do this.

i think for me personally it is ideal to have a green juice in the morning then move on to fruit and salad later.

My fave thing to have when I wake up is water with msm. BUT when I finally have food, I like to have a choco-banana smoothie from a place in Vancouver - it has hempseeds, dates, banana, cacao. It's so good and I get so hyper and happy from it I ALWAYS have a good day. It's like a recipe for a good day.
