When you’re a busy mom, you often prioritize your children’s well-being, which can lead to unhealthy habits and even skipping meals. Jessica Alba was feeling exhausted and being a working mother she thought it was lack of sleep until she turned to a wellness guru which told her that it was her eating habits that were making her sleepy all the time.

Alba’s busy lifestyle caused her to get in the habit of skipping breakfast, which was throwing her blood sugar off. She was craving more carbs throughout the day, which made her feel tired. Nutritionist Kelly LeVeque recommended that she start the day off with a green smoothie that includes a mix of greens, 1/3 of banana, chia seeds, almond milk, and almond butter. “The idea was to balance her blood sugar from the get-go with something that was a great source of fiber,” she says to Well + Good.
