Green Morning Smoothie

Need a quick breakfast? If  you've got a blender and 3-5 minutes, you're all set! The past 2 weeks, my husband and I have been loving these tropical-tasting smoothies. You can also change up the fruit with whatever is in season or in your freezer.


The Nutrition Rundown: Little is better than getting a full serving of vitamin-rich vegetables for breakfast. Unlike juicing, blending a smoothie won't leave your beverage fiber-less. The proportions of healthy fat from the avocado, protein from the Greek yogurt, and natural sugar from the fruit will leave you full and satisfied until lunch.
