Talking about antioxidants, apricots and orange juice take the major share. Apricots are also a good source of iron and fibre. Consumption of this healthy fruit in the morning would add bulk to your stool, further facilitating smooth digestion. Just like apricots, flaxseeds are excellent source of fibre too. Apart from being loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseeds' high fibre content helps prevent constipation. So, if you are someone who is constantly bothered by the problem of constipation, then you know what to add to your breakfast meal!
You can pair this smoothie with oat crackers, which are again known to be easily digested - thanks to the presence of oats that are replete with soluble and insoluble fibres. Oat crackers are also a good source of slow-release carbohydrates that help in balancing blood sugar levels. You may also pair this meal with boiled egg whites to tuck in some essential proteins.
