Breakfast does not have to be complicated, extravagant or time consuming! Whether you have time to cook breakfast in the morning, or have to eat your breakfast on the go, there’s a healthy breakfast for everyone! Check out one of my go-to favorite breakfasts, mixed fruit smoothie! 

This smoothie only takes me about five minutes to make each morning (when I can squeeze it in), and it seriously keeps me full all day.

Ingredients (1 serving)

1. 1/4 cups frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries I used a mix.
2. 1/4 medium banana fresh or frozen.
3. 1/4 cup frozen mango chunks.
4. 1 – 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (pineapple juice optional.
5. 1/4 a pineapple cubed (optional)

Instructions

Put all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into glasses, serve and enjoy!

And while you’re sipping on your smoothie watching my IGTV video on this recipe, read about some of the healthy benefits of breakfast, according to the Mayo Clinic.

• Control their blood sugar levels — which is important in preventing or controlling diabetes.

Children who regularly eat a healthy breakfast are more likely to:
