3. Berry White Bean Smoothie
This deliciously refreshing smoothie will keep you full thanks to a secret ingredient you won’t even notice in the recipe — white beans.
White beans offer plant-based protein as well as fiber to this smoothie, which has even more fiber thanks to the berries. Fiber, as we mentioned, is considered an important nutrient for brain health and cognitive function.
The berries also offer antioxidants, which help protect brain cells from free-radical damage.
4. Avocado Smoothie Bowl
An avocado a day keeps the brain fog away. That’s because avocados are full of powerful antioxidants including lutein, which is linked to better cognition.
People who ate an avocado a day for six months showed improvements in memory, sustained attention and efficient problem-solving, according to an August 2017 study in Nutrients.
So, if you have a big test or an important work presentation coming up, it would behoove you to add an avocado to your breakfast bowl. This a.m. meal comes with crunchy almonds and bananas for added creaminess.
