Healthy Smoothie Recipes - Quick and Easy Breakfast on the Go

It's hard to beat these healthy smoothie recipes for a quick and easy breakfast in a glass. Packed with fruit and all its associated vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and protein from milk and/or yogurt they're a deliciously healthy and easy way to start your day. If mornings are especially time-crunched, mix up the healthy smoothie before you go to bed and place it in the fridge. In the morning just give it a quick whir, pour into a glass and enjoy.
