The nutrition coach also spoke to Well & Good, and explained how Jessica had approached her to help boost her energy and stay away from foods that caused inflammation.
"For breakfast, I suggested Jessica have a Fab Four Smoothie (1 serving of protein, 1–2 Tbsp almond butter, 1–2 Tbsp chia seeds, a handful of greens, and 1–2 cups of almond milk). She liked fruit, but I didn’t want to spike her blood sugar, so we limited it to 1/3 frozen banana.
