One of my favorite things to make for breakfast is a smoothie --- not only are they are SO easy to make but they also keep me full for hours! And I'm not talking about something from Smoothie King, which is just full of fruit and is basically a sugar bomb (in my opinion). It's all about adding in some healthy fats, proteins and fiber to your daily (or weekly) smoothie(s) to ensure that you stay full and satisfied for hours and give your body something nutritious that won't spike its blood sugar too high.
