For those mornings that you are rushing to get out the door and need a breakfast that is easy, healthy, and portable consider a smoothie. Smoothies are a great way to start your morning packed with nutrition (and sneak some veggies in for the picky eaters), plus the flavor possibilities are endless so you never get bored. Here are a few of our favorite go to smoothie recipes, but feel free to experiment with different fruits and veggies to see what your kids love-you might be surprise!
Throw ingredients into blender, mix until desired consistency (If too thick add extra water, milk, almond milk, etc. If too thin add extra ice or more frozen fruit).
1) Good morning sunrise smoothie:
