6 Nutritious Smoothies That Will Turn You Into a Morning Person

By Alyssa Holder · On January 26, 2017

You know that friend who springs up at the crack of dawn, ready to take on the day? We are happy to let you know that you can be that friend too.

We know waking up in the morning is rough, so when you have nothing prepared for breakfast, the thought of getting up early enough to make and eat it before taking on the day can seem … outlandish.

With the help of Daily Harvest, the ready-to-make smoothie service, we have 6 simple and nutritious smoothie recipes to help you have an awesome start to your day – even if waking up at the crack of dawn may never be your thing.
