A good start to the day

We’re all busy, and many of us find it easy to forgo breakfast, but smoothies represent a great start to the day. You can prep them the night before, and whip them up again as you’re preparing to head out the door in the morning. My favourite, pictured here, contains the following and easily lasts me three days.

• two cups (475 ml / 16 ounces) orange juice
• 250 g Greek yogurt
• berries to taste: I often use a combination of strawberries, raspberries and/or blackberries, but always include blueberries

What are your preferred smoothie essentials? Bananas, flax seed, honey, kale, soy milk, oats, or spinach?
