Boost your mornings with this nutrient dense smoothie, perfect for getting you out the door and in the sun!
Smoothies make an ideal breakfast choice during summer, especially when you’re in a hurry to get out the door. They’re quick to prepare, light, and refreshing, perfect for hot mornings.
By blending together fruits, leafy greens, yogurt, and a protein boost like nuts or seeds, you can create a nutrient-packed meal that keeps you energized throughout the day. Plus, the natural sugars from fruit provide a refreshing sweetness without needing extra sugar.
Best of all, smoothies are portable, so you can sip your healthy breakfast on the go, saving time while still nourishing your body. Below is one of my all time favourites!
