Did you know that a healthy breakfast gives you energy, improves your short-term memory, and helps you to concentrate more intensely and for longer periods?
Skip the sandwich but enjoy all the flavors of this healthy and protein-rich (a whopping 18 grams of protein!) smoothie. Blend together Greek yogurt, spinach, strawberries and peanut butter for a nod to the timeless peanut butter and jelly. If peanut butter isn't your thing, you can substitute any seed or nut butter you prefer and it will be just as delicious.
