3 Health Benefits of This Triple Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie

#1: Boosts Brain Health

Morning meetings are the worst. Having to turn your brain on and be attentive right after you wake up can be a lot to ask. The solution?

A brain-boosting smoothie like this one.

This easy breakfast not only provides nutrition on-the-go, but it’ll get your brain up and running for whatever challenges your morning presents.

And how does it work this magic, you may ask? Through brain-supportive nutrients like MCTs and ginkgo.

MCTs (medium-chain fatty acids) provide a quick source of fuel for your brain and body. Unlike other types of fat that need to travel through your lymphatic system, MCTs go directly to your liver to be broken down for energy[*].

Ginkgo, an herbal medicine used for thousands of years in Eastern cultures, is known for its cognitive-enhancing effects. Specifically, ginkgo may help improve memory, as shown in a study of cognitively intact older adults[*].

#2: Supports Weight Loss

When you’re trying to shed a few pounds merely cutting back on your food intake doesn’t always do the trick.

The problem is — you get hungry.

Adding in fiber-rich foods like chia seeds can help slow your digestion, and due to their ability to hold water, they can increase feelings of fullness.

In one study, 24 participants ate yogurt for breakfast with either no chia seeds, 7 grams of chia seeds, or 14 grams of chia seeds.

Both the 7-gram and 14-gram chia seed groups reported enhanced satiety, decreased sugar cravings, and reduced consumption of food at their next meal[*].

#3: Improves Mood

Do you ever wonder why chocolate always sounds so good when you’re in a bad mood? Aside from its delicious ability to take your mind off your troubles, compounds in chocolate may have the ability to lift your mental state.

In a double-blind study, researchers gave participants a dark chocolate drink mix for 30 days and measured their cognition and mood. After the 30 days, the participants drinking the high dose chocolate mix reported increased calmness and contentedness as compared to the placebo.

This study provided a baseline to explore the potential use of chocolate compounds for the treatment of clinical anxiety and or depression[*].

Triple Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie

It’s a common conundrum, you want something chocolatey, but you only have time for a no-bake, easy recipe.

With a prep time of only five minutes, you can throw this recipe together and have your brain-boosting protein shake in no time.

Want some extra protein? Add a scoop of Perfect Keto Whey Protein, which offers an array of muscle-building amino acids that complement the amino acids in collagen.

And if you want to add a bit more fat and protein, you can throw in a tablespoon of almond butter.

For a thicker smoothie or smoothie bowl, simply add a little less milk. That said, you can even change up the types of milk you use — just make sure they’re low in carbs and sugar-free. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk works great.

We’ve all been there, it’s midday, you have three more hours of work to do, and you can’t keep your eyes open. You’re just sitting there, staring at your computer screen or counting down the minutes until the team meeting is over.

If your energy levels start to wane late afternoon or after a tough morning workout, you’re not alone. In fact, it’s a common time of day for your system to take a little hiatus and put brain power on the back burner.

You don’t have time to go to a coffee shop, you need a pick-me-up, and you need it ASAP.

Enter this midday boost protein latte.

This beverage is much more than a cup of coffee, with whey protein, collagen, and nootropics — it’s your afternoon snack and energy boost in one.

This latte recipe is:

• Sweet
• Strong
• Flavorful
• Energizing

The main ingredients are:

• Perfect Keto Chocolate Collagen
• Perfect Keto Chocolate Whey Protein
• Perfect Keto Nootropic

Optional additional ingredients

3 Health Benefits of Midday Boost Latte

#1: Protects Your Joints

Many athletes experience joint pain now and then from everyday wear and tear. While this may seem like a normal side effect from being an active person, joint pain is no laughing matter. In fact, many athletes find themselves seeking anti-inflammatory supplements and medications so they can continue being active.

Aside from the fact that it can throw you off your training schedule, joint pain is often a sign that something more serious is happening with your connective tissue.

When athletes supplement with collagen, it not only enhances their collagen production, but it significantly decreases joint pain.

In a clinical trial taking place over 24-weeks, athletes taking collagen supplements experienced less joint pain when walking, lifting, standing, and at rest[*].

#2: Promotes Muscle Growth

Hitting the gym and eating a bunch of protein sound like no-brainers when it comes to muscle growth. While these are certainly important considerations, if you really want to get targeted with your training, you need to include branch chained amino acids (BCAAs).

BCAAs are specific amino acids that work in your body to stimulate protein synthesis in your muscles — leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Through several mechanisms, BCAAs initiate a signaling cascade that enhance your muscles mass.

If you’re looking for a real boost in your physique, targeting these amino acids in your diet is a must. More muscle helps you lose unwanted fat, so you’ll be toning up while you slim down.

So, where can you find these BCAAs?

Whey protein happens to be a fantastic source of all three BCAAs and is exceptionally high in leucine — the ring leader BCAA[*].

#3: Boosts Brain Function

Decaf coffee gives this protein latte its rich, nutty flavor, but the real energy boost comes from the nootropics.

Nootropics support brain health and enhance your cognitive performance. From the structure of your brain cells to the function of their signaling chemicals — nootropics can help.

Depending on your goals, adding in a boost of brain nutrition can help boost your physical and mental performance.

Some of the benefits of the nootropics found in this recipe are:

• Ginkgo biloba supports healthy nerve function and aging
• Omega-3 fatty acids enhance memory recall and support the structure of your brain cells[*][*][*]

Midday Boost Latte

There are times when it doesn’t matter how many cups of coffee you drink, fatigue and brain fog tank your energy and your productivity.

Instead of turning to cup after cup of black coffee, try this midday protein latte. It’s packed with good fats and nootropic herbs and amino acids to keep you going all day — without the crash.

Are you ready to kick your productivity up ten notches?

Health Benefits Of Nootropic Berry Chocolate Protein Smoothie

#1. Enhances Brain Health

Nootropics, aka smart drugs, are natural and synthetic compounds that enhance mental functions like mood, focus, memory, motivation, and attention span[*].

Nootropics can consist of any number of compounds, from man-made synthetics, to herbs, to amino acids. Perfect Keto Nootropic contains an array of herbs, exogenous ketones, and other compounds that provide brain support.

Phosphatidylserine (PS), for instance, is a crucial phospholipid found in every single cell in your body. There are millions of cells in your brain alone, so it makes sense that phosphatidylserine helps to maintain healthy brain function.

Without proper nutrition and stress reduction, brain degeneration happens naturally with aging. This can result in short- and long-term memory loss, confusion, and the inability to perform simple daily tasks as you age. Phosphatidylserine may help prevent or reverse that by crossing the blood-brain barrier to either slow or completely stop any deterioration from happening[*][*].

Ginkgo biloba, another prominent ingredient in Perfect Keto Nootropic, acts as an anti-inflammatory and helps fight free radicals and improve circulation.

Ginkgo biloba may also help improve cognitive ability by promoting cerebral oxygen supply and blood flow[*][*].

If you’ve heard of fish oil, then you may have heard of DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid), which is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid crucial for brain health.

DHA boosts memory and brain function and may improve “brain plasticity” — your brain’s ability to adapt and rewire synapses. That means more and better communication between your brain cells, aka better memory and overall cognitioon[*].

#2. Promotes Cellular Function

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant and naturally-occurring lipid that supports and regulates cell function. It helps fight and prevent oxidative stress and reduce inflammation[*].

ALA is also known for improving insulin sensitivity, lowering your blood sugar, and regulating cortisol output, all of which help address inflammation and metabolic function. This is crucial for overall physical and mental health[*].

Cat’s claw also supports cellular function because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties[*].

One study in healthy adults found a significant decrease in DNA damage and an increase in DNA repair in participants who took 250-350 mg of cat’s claw extract over a period of 8 weeks. This was compared to the control group who didn’t take a supplement[*].

#3. Keeps You Chill and Manages Stress

L-theanine is a calming amino acid that works without making you feel sluggish or drowsy[*].

There are plenty of studies on the benefits of L-theanine but this calming compound is most well-known for its ability to reduce stress, anxiety, and nervousness[*][*][*].

Increasing your intake of L-theanine can decrease anxiety and symptoms associated with other mood disorders.

Keeping your stress hormones in check is great for your brain, which is why you’ll find L-theanine in many nootropic blends.

#4 High Protein Helps With Muscle Growth and Repair

This protein-packed smoothie is great for a post-workout snack to help build and maintain muscle[*][*][*]. Protein is also essential for:

• Keeping you feeling full for hours
• Weight loss[*]
• Rebuilding damaged tissue[*][*]

This particular recipe calls for a chocolate protein powder of your choice. Grass-fed whey protein isolate is a great option.

If you have a dairy allergy or extreme lactose intolerance, try a high-quality grass-fed beef protein isolate or vegan protein powder. Both are keto-friendly and will provide you with an array of amino acids to help support muscle growth and recovery.

If you’re in the mood for a rich chocolate, low-carb smoothie, this is the one to try. Plus, you’ll get the brain-boosting effects of exogenous ketones, powdered MCT, and powerful adaptogenic herbs. Enjoy!
