This is my absolute favorite way to start the day. When you have something this healthy for breakfast, it’s bound to be a good day no matter what comes next. Green drinks are nutritious and satisfying without making you feel slow or heavy. They are also substantial enough to be consumed as a detox program. Try drinking nothing but green drink for a week and see how amazing you feel. (Granted the first three days will not be so great if you’re a caffeine/sugar addict, but after the initial detox period you will feel amazing!)

To make a green drink, pick 3 greens and add 3 gigantic handfuls to the blender. Pick another 2-3 fruits and 1 source of omega (along with any other optional add-ins). Add 15oz or so of water (how much water you need will really depend on your blender and how thick you like the texture). Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. YUM!
