Quick and Easy Breakfast Week: GOOD MORNING! Smoothie

Update and Redux: C – I love when I start seeing citrus come into season. That means I get to make this quick and easy breakfast smoothie to start my day. Sometimes, I even make it the night before and seal it in mason jars for my morning commute. I try to use fruit that won’t turn the smoothie a different color and make it taste weird. This is one of the good-color smoothies. It’s mostly fruit and not vegetables, so it will not turn brown.

C – This morning I woke up sluggish.

I was really slow. I needed a boost. I didn’t even want to chew. Something was wrong with me. Caffeine wasn’t going to do it for me this morning. I needed something refreshing and light.

This tangerine, orange, ginger, banana and mango smoothie was it. It’s my GOOD MORNING! smoothie.

You have to scream GOOD MORNING! after you drink it to wake up and have a good start to the day.

It was a delightful wake up call. It’s sweet, a bit tart, creamy, cold and has just enough kick of ginger to wake up those taste buds in the morning. I really enjoyed it this morning.

Now I can’t wait to start the day.
