Try smoothies for a power breakfast

Protein smoothies are a great breakfast option. Quick and easy-to-make, they also keep you feeling full for longer than a regular smoothie. Plus protein is a building block for cells, so it’s important for your muscle health and immunity. You can use protein powder, or almond butter if you’re looking for a natural option.
