Yes, your mother was right: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And having the right breakfast is one way to be healthier and feel better. A savory, amped up smoothie is one of the most nutritious breakfasts on the planet, a superfood with superpowers. According to John Lanchester, the British journalist and foodie, “Food has always been expressive of identity.” Today, we identify with fresh, local, and sustainable foods. The cleaner and healthier the ingredients are, the better. A smoothie is a good-for-you blend of fruits, veggies, vitamins, and nutrients that makes you feel energized and ready to take on the world. Whether you’re powering up with a verdant tonic or a dense, nutty shake, it’s a pure infusion of energy and life force. Get a healthy start to your day with these six organic smoothies.
Berry, Beet, Mint, Lime, and Chia Seed Smoothie
The best thing about smoothies – other than they’re a good way to eat right and feel great – is that you don’t have to wait in line at the local cafe or juice bar. All you have to do is shuffle into the kitchen in your old fuzzy slippers, fire up the blender, and voila!

Banana Coconut Smoothie
Coconut probably makes you think of tropical islands, white sands, warm sunshine, and umbrella drinks, but coconut is also a rich, natural source of medium-chain triglycerides. When blood sugar is low, triglycerides are converted into a source of fuel for the brain; it's also believed they help with memory. Another thing that makes this smoothie a keeper is that you only need a few ingredients. It’s a no-frills brain booster.
