[quote=Anonymous]Smoothies are a must have in our house. My husband and one kid are serious athletes and they love the hydration and nutrient boost in the mornings. I love that it means my kids get at least a couple of servings of good fruits and vegetables each day. And I never feel like eating first thing, so it’s a great first breakfast for me after a workout (midmorning I’ll have second breakfast).

I do not prep ahead because I keep everything on one shelf in the fridge and find it super easy to just grab and stick in the blender. (My refrigerator is directly across from the counter, so I leave the door open and it takes literally 45 seconds to prep.)

I have tried various things over the years, including silken tofu, protein powder, and Greek yogurt to add protein. So okay with that.

Right now I am on a mango kick:

Ice 
Orange juice 
Coconut milk (the type in the carton, not the can) 
A ton of baby spinach 
Chia seeds 
Frozen mango 
Banana 
Enough water to make it blend

The Vitamix is key. Blending takes another 45 seconds. Pour and go. (We use those big protein shake shaker bottles - they don’t spill if clicked shut, fit in a bike bottle holder, and they are great for on the go.)

Sometimes I will swap blueberries/raspberries/blackberries blend for the mango, or add blueberries to the mango… [/quote]
