Almost anyone can remind you that breakfast is the most important meal of the day -- a good balance of protein and carbohydrates can be essential to setting your day up for success. But it's hard. I know how it is -- by the time you get up, get ready for work or school (or help your family get ready for work and school!) there isn't always time for a healthy meal before the daily grind is in full swing. So what could be easier than throwing a few ingredients in a blender and taking a fresh smoothie with you to work, school or run errands? Exactly. Here are 5 fabulous fruit smoothie recipes to start your day off right - all great tasting and gluten free!
