"There are two things I hate being when I leave the house in the morning: rushed and hungry. With three kids, a husband, a dog, and a full-time job, it can be a real struggle to get out the door most days. This smoothie has recently become one of my go-tos, as the ingredients are basic ones I always have on hand. It’s packed with antioxidants from the blueberries and protein from the chia seeds, hemp seeds, and nut butter. It keeps you plenty full, but it’s easy to digest, leaving you light on your toes for the day ahead. If you want to take it up a notch, toss in a few green cubes (see page 84) or a handful of fresh greens. Or just enjoy it just the way it is. You’re rushed enough."
