Breakfast Smoothie

Some people say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day...no doubt they are the same people that say you should chew your food 32 times before swallowing or only take bites of food the size of walnuts. They sound like wonderfully idealistic. Leisurely weekend mornings aside, who has time for breakfast? I manage to make it out of bed with just enough time to shower, get dressed and make lunch before it's time to head out the door.

I spent a fortune before I realized the smoothies I would buy 2-3 days a week never seemed to get the fruit combination I wanted and that I could probably do a better job myself. Now I drink a liter of smoothie every morning, and get all the vitamins and proteins a healthy boy needs to be...erm...healthy.
