A Fresh Start

If you’re like many of us, this new year finds you grateful for a fresh start. This month we’ve got power smoothies to help you kick-start a healthy new year without getting bored with your breakfast. These recipes make it easy to banish post-holiday guilt without a whole lot of effort.

Simply throw some ingredients into a blender, press a button, pour it into a glass, and you’re ready to take on the day. Short on time? Most smoothies take less than five minutes to throw together, so there’s no excuse for skipping breakfast.
