Music, love linked Jackson, mom July 4: If there was one constant in Michael Jackson’s turbulent life, one person the “King of Pop” could be himself with, it was the woman who first discovered his voice – his mother. NBC’s Michelle Kosinski reports, then Amy Robach sits down with People magazine’s David Caplan. |
In her new book, "Healthy Living from the Inside Out: Every Woman’s Guide to Real Beauty, Renewed Energy, and a Radiant Life," actress-turned-author Mariel Hemingway suggests starting off each day with a healthy morning protein and fruit-based shake instead of a bowl of cereal.
"For some reason America decided that sweet food and grain-based food is what should be served for breakfast," says the 45-year-old mother of two. "But it's not the case in other parts of the world. In Sweden, Japan, or Scotland you might eat fish first thing; in the Alps you'd get cheese and cold cuts; in South India you'd feast on delicious lentil stew."
Adjust your breakfast first and you are more likely to start the day from a place of neutral calm, says Hemingway. Here's her recipe.
One serving
The shake is just an easy way to get good nutrition quickly. It's easy and simple. It also makes a great afternoon snack and it tastes good.
INGREDIENTS
Put a cup of drinking water and some ice into a blender. Add whey powder, flaxseed powder, and frozen berries. Blend on high. Mixture should be thick and smooth, not icy. If it is too frosty, add a little hot water to soften the texture. Drink in a tall glass, or pour over fresh berries.
Add stevia only if shake is not sweet enough. The whey powder alone should make it quite sweet.
