Breakfast On The Go

I love breakfast. If it were up to me, I’d be eating eggs at every meal of the day. However, not everyone shares my sentiments and not everyone likes eggs (gasp!). While I normally have the time to eat a proper meal in the morning, I’ve actually grown to like smoothies in the morning. Knowing that many of you are crunched for time in the a.m., I thought I would send out a quick newsletter with some of my favorite go-to smoothie recipes to keep you on track with your goals. You’ll have to forgive me for not coming up with more creative names than these! Keep in mind, these would be considered meal replacement shakes, so count them as one total meal. Enjoy!
