Americans try to keep insane schedules between work, kids, friends, social and religious institutions and volunteer obligations. Too frequently, dinners-on-the-go lack nutritional density and leave us without the proper nourishment to finish the day strong. Stress can cause the body to release a hormone called cortisol which has been known to increase fat stores. Not only can our waistline suffer, so can our gut causing constipation and other undesirable consequences. Don’t stress about dinner when you can blend up this smoothie in no time flat. It’s packed with both pre and probiotics and is ready to pack it up and hit the road onto soccer or choir practice!
