Mornings are a tough time. They are so always so busy, and there’s always so much going on. When I was in school, I remember so many mornings when I wanted a little more sleep, even if that meant that I didn’t have time to eat. Really, it can be difficult to find the time to have any breakfast, let alone to have a healthy one.
Since mornings are such an 0n-the-go time, it’s great to have a breakfast that’s not only healthy but also super tasty and portable – like this Tropical Green Smoothie. Now, I’m going to be totally honest about this – green smoothies made me nervous. I love spinach, but the idea of drinking it just didn’t sound very appealing. I had it in my mind that a green smoothie would taste like fruity spinach, which, frankly, sounds pretty gross. I kept seeing them everywhere, though, so I figured that there had to be something to this whole green smoothie thing. And there is!
This Tropical Green Smoothie is great! It is a sweet, creamy tropical smoothie (and no, you can’t taste the spinach). It is packed with delicious ingredients like fresh spinach, fruit, and Silk Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative.
The Silk Almond Milk (or coconut milk) and Dairy-Free Yogurt Alternative give this smoothie its smooth, creamy texture while keep it dairy-free and adding calcium and protein, which is great for people who can’t or don’t eat dairy products. Plus, it’s perfect for busy mornings because it only takes a couple minutes to blend together, and you can sip it on-the-go.
