As I stood in the kitchen, sipping on a freshly brewed cup of coffee and watching my three kids rush to get ready for school, I knew today was the day to make our morning routine a little healthier. The chaos of breakfast prep was inevitable, but I decided to shake things up with a nutritious and delicious green smoothie. I quickly assembled a handful of our favorite ingredients, tossed them into the blender, and hit the start button. Within minutes, we were sipping on a revitalizing drink that would give us a boost to take on the day.
