In my ideal world, I’d sit down every morning for a hot breakfast, complete with over-easy eggs served on top of sautéed vegetables with a side of perfectly crisp, thick-cut bacon. But more often than not, I can barely think straight enough to pour myself a cup of coffee before 10am.

Most days I’m scrambling for something to hold me over until my kids’ nap––when I can hopefully eat for a couple uninterrupted minutes. Unfortunately, grab and go breakfast choices all too often include treats like scones and sugar-topped muffins––hardly a nutrient-rich option.

This past week, I’ve skipped the pastries (OK, not counting that one time I splurged on a scone) and whipped up a green smoothie to get my PROs into my system first thing in the morning. This recipe also has a good dose of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and potassium. And best of all? It takes about two minutes to make.
