Don't enjoy breakfast but need to get something in your stomach? Cranky around 3 p.m. and need a jolt of energy? Have trouble getting your daily recommended fruit servings? This smoothie is the cure for all of that and more. It's become my morning go-to. The secret ingredient here is kefir, a probiotic product that's like drinkable yogurt. You can sub plain yogurt in a pinch. The protein powder helps keep you full through the morning; if that's not your thing try adding a scoop of peanut butter.
