Summer is using chirping birds as an alarm clock instead of the brain-splitting whining of your typical wake-up call. It’s laying in bed without a reason to rush, finally getting up and going to the window to see the sun shining on the freshly mowed lawn. It’s going downstairs to the kitchen, grabbing some fresh fruit and make up one your favorite easy breakfast smoothie recipes. Then taking it outside to sit on the back patio while you sip and prepare for your day of laying by the pool reading and sunning your skin.
While that may not be exactly how your summer is (#work #internships #responsibilities), you can still incorporate breakfast smoothies into your summer morning routine! It’s a super quick and healthy way to have breakfast on the go or by the pool. Here are some of my favorite recipes!
