With school starting up (and having all 8am classes), coming up with a list of go-to quick breakfasts is a great idea! For those days when it’s still warm outside or you really just want a fast, refreshing breakfast, we here at the Sargent Choice Nutrition Center have you covered. Both our Purple Power Smoothie and Berry Mango Smoothie are delicious and have the nutrition boost to get you through the first half of your day! Check out our previous posts about each smoothie (Spinach in a Smoothie?! and Berry-Mango Smoothie Goodness) then write down the recipes (Purple Power recipe found HERE) and give them a whirl! Also, be sure to check Late Night this year for both these awesome smoothies! What are some of your favorite quick, healthy breakfasts? We’d love to hear so drop a comment below or write on our facebook page!
