Breakfast Smoothies for On the Go

Trying to eat healthier has been a big goal for us this year, and smoothie recipes have honestly made it feel doable on busy days.

Between school drop-offs, late workdays, and practices, this orange strawberry banana breakfast smoothie has become my go-to breakfast on the go.

I make it in my Blendtec blender because it blends fast, stays creamy, and keeps up with our hectic mornings.

This morning smoothie is perfect because you can prep the ingredients ahead of time in a freezer-safe jar and grab a healthy breakfast even when life feels nonstop.

This smoothie is also a great alternative when feeling snackish!

Eat something that will benefit your body instead of filling it with sugar.
