I have a pretty set morning routine. I’m out the door before 7 a.m. and usually at work logging into my email around 7:15 a.m. Yes that’s early, but I leave work at 4 p.m. which allows me to get in my workouts in the afternoon and still have some free time at night 🙂 Today I want to share a variation of my morning protein green smoothie.
Last week a representative from Daily Burn reached out to me regarding a project centered around smoothies. Some of the best smoothies will be featured on their social media pages soon! Not only are smoothies convenient, but they can also serve as a good source of protein to jump-start your day! Daily Burn is a health and fitness company that is ALL about convenience!

…and now for the main event – my morning protein green smoothie!
