Smoothies are one of my favorites. Smoothies are fast and easy to make and they are a nutritious way to start the day. Maybe you have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Breakfast is breaking fast. Your body has just fasted anywhere from 8-12 hours and to really be effective for the day it needs quality protein, fat, and fiber.  Above is a basic smoothie recipe.
