Have your birthday cake protein shake and drink it, too!
Breakfast smoothies are terrifically tasty, but when you're not in control of the ingredients, they can also be packed with sugar. A saccharine blast first thing in the morning is not the smartest way to start the day: Your body may crash, and you may experience a headache and crave even more sugar for the rest of the day.
To ensure you're getting all of those smoothie benefits -- hello, protein! -- without the added sugar, whip up your own concoction at home. The 20 recipes below will keep you full and fuel you all the way to lunch. Pick a few favorites and get blending and shaking all week long.s
