As the new semester begins and reality hits, life can get hectic,sometimes leaving us with little time to give our body the proper treatment it deserves. Treating our bodies right starts with proper nutrition, so starting off the day right with breakfast is a must. However, with a busy schedule making breakfast seems less important than getting those five extra minutes of sleep. Breakfast smoothies can be a quick and easy way to solve this issue. These recipes allow you to boost up your energy and get you out the door on time!
