As my eyes struggle to open and the sun begins to beam through the windows shades, I semi-consciously realize it is time to get up and get going. As it is another day of living to the max, I follow an almost daily habit of working out and eating right at the onset of my day. Part of these glorious mornings is consuming a healthy alternative to the 780 calorie Loaded Breakfast Burrito at Carl’s Jr. My usual alternative is that of a fruit smoothie. Today, I will show you how I make my Healthy Morning Start Smoothies quickly and easily and show how simple it is for you to begin implementing in your mornings as well.

Following the video, read below for ingredients, alternatives, and further instructions.
