Most Americas don’t make time to cook breakfast, let alone eat breakfast. If you’re like me, it’s because I try to squeeze every second out of my alarm before I get up. I fully understand the importance of starting the day off with breakfast, but I just don’t want to wake up. This is why I drink my breakfast. Smoothies are a quick, healthy way to have breakfast, especially for people who are on the move and love to sleep.

Here’s my favorite morning smoothie recipe:
