Brighten your morning by layering mango-peach-banana-citrus, strawberry-beet, and green apple flavors into a single glass. The colorful, three-tier refreshment is an easy way to trick your kids into drinking their fruits and vegetables, too. They may even ask for seconds.
This basic fiber- and protein-loaded recipe gives you the freedom to combine your choice of potassium-packed bananas and berries as well as the milk of your liking—soy, skim, coconut or almond. A touch of sweet honey and lemon juice will wake up your taste buds.
Here's a recipe that puts to use that entire crate of farmer's market peaches you bought last weekend. Toss the fruit, orange juice, peach yogurt, and a hint of honey and nutmeg into a blender to shake up your morning routine. You'll feel just peachy after consuming your recommended daily dose of vitamin C.
Prepare this vegan drink ahead of time, store it in the freezer, and grab it on your way out the door on those crazy mornings. The papaya, mango, pineapple, banana and orange concoction makes waking up a breeze.
Don't get scared off by the color of this shake—the dairy-free delight is equally delicious and nutritious. Coconut milk makes it smooth and creamy while strawberries add sweetness and flavor.
Don't let anyone tell you a dollop of whip cream has no place in the morning. This drink looks—and tastes—like your favorite café-style beverage, but skips all the added sugar and fat. Plain yogurt gives it a thick, velvety texture, and bananas and blueberries—both antioxidant superstars—pack all the disease-fighting chemicals you need to take on the day.
From promoting healthy digestion to offering PMS-relief, blackberries do wonders for your body. You'll leave the breakfast table feeling full from sweet, nutty-flavored almond milk and fiber-packed fruits. Just make sure you have a napkin handy to wipe off that frothy purple mustache.
