High Fibre Morning Power Smoothie

I think I speak for a large majority of people on this planet when I say I'm not a morning person.
And unless you can be overly energetic without some sort of caffeine at 6 in the morning like my mom, you're probably on the hunt for something to render your senses awake.

Well here's a healthier option to caffeine: a Fruit Smoothie. But not just any ol' fruit smoothie! This one adds in an extra dose of fibre to keep you digestive system regulatory.

While it's a little high in sugar (don't worry, they're natural fruit sugars!), this smoothie is chock-full of vitamins and only have 9.2 g of net carbs! In other words, drink to your heart's content!

Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup pears, diced
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 tbsp psyillium husk


Directions:
1) Combine psyllium husk with 1/3 cup of water. Set aside.
2) Add remaining ingredients into a blender.
3) At this point, the psyllium husk should have absorbed most, if not all, of the water. Mix well and scoop into the blender.
4) Blend until smooth.
5) Pour into glasses and enjoy! *

Makes 2 servings.

Notes
- It is best to place wet ingredients into a blender first to ease mixing.
- As psyllium tends to cause liquids to congeal, this smoothie is best consumed immediately after preparation. If you prefer to chill the smoothie before serving, or to prepare it in advance, simply add a small amount of water and shake well before consuming it.
