Fueling up the body and mind with breakfast is one of the most important parts of a healthy diet. Some mornings, such as those crazy, run-out-the-door-we’re-late-for-school-and-I’m-late-for-work mornings, having an easy to prepare and transportable idea breakfast is key. Enter the yogurt shake. Throw some fruit, yogurt, possibly even a nut butter, in the blender and breakfast is ready. Possibilities are only limited by what you have in your pantry or fridge. Try to include three food groups in the shake for a more balanced breakfast.
* For easy cleanup, fill the blender with water, add a teeny drop of dish soap and run for a few seconds. Rinse and done.
