What’s your breakfast routine like? Are you an eggs and bacon person? Do you enjoy a good bagel and cream cheese? Or are you often so pressed for time that you just grab something quick as you’re running out the door?

When you’re running late, it can be tempting to skip breakfast altogether. But the old expression, “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” exists for a reason. So rather than not eat anything, why not try a breakfast smoothie? They are easy to throw together and completely portable once you put them in your favorite cup.
