How a Nutritionist Fuels Their Morning: My Energizing Routine

Starting your day with the right fuel and mindset can set the tone for everything else. As a nutritionist and fitness enthusiast, my mornings are all about nourishing my body, staying productive, and preparing for success. Here’s how I kickstart my day, stay energized, and power through my busy schedule.

Savor the Moment – A warm cup of coffee is more than just a drink; it’s a ritual for mindfulness and relaxation. ☕✨ #MindfulLiving #CoffeeLover #WellnessRitual

My Morning Fuel: Superfood Coffee and Smoothies

I wake up early, around 6 AM, and my first ritual is making my superfood coffee. It’s more than just a caffeine boost—it’s packed with nutrients to fuel my body and mind. Here’s my recipe:

Superfood Coffee Ingredients:

• 1 tsp coconut or MCT oil

• organic dark coffee

• 1 scoop of creatine 5g

• A 1/3 cup of (30g) of Premier Caramel Protein

• 1 tsp maca powder or reshi mushroom

• Optional: 1 tbsp liquid Ginkgo Gin (from Omega Alpha supplements) or ashwagandha

Why this works: After a night of fasting, your glucose levels are depleted, leaving you feeling sluggish. This nutrient-packed coffee not only restores energy but also supports focus and muscle recovery.

On some mornings, I switch it up with a smoothie. Adding protein and greens ensures I’m starting the day with balanced nutrition. It’s an easy way to meet your daily veggie goals!

Morning Mindset: Journaling and Affirmations

After fueling up, I take 5-10 minutes to journal. This time helps me reflect on the previous day, set goals, and affirm my intentions. It’s a grounding practice that keeps me focused and motivated.

Next, I dedicate time to creative work. Whether it’s writing for my book, creating content for Instagram, or brainstorming recipes, I find my sharpest mental energy is in the morning.

Morning Workout: Strength and Cardio

By 8 AM, it’s workout time. I follow a strategic plan tailored to my goals:

• 3 days for lower body

• 2 days for upper body

• Strength training and cardio (about 30 minutes daily)

Exercise in the morning helps boost endorphins and keeps my energy levels high throughout the day.
