I'm sure it's blatantly obvious, but I'm all about the breakfast shakes right now. I've been getting pretty experimental and this one came about recently . . . because who doesn't like blueberries and chocolate in the morning!? If you're on the go like most Americans, I suggest getting something (preferably healthy) in your body before you start the day. A breakfast shake is an easy way to do this because it has easily digestible ingredients with minimal prep time and clean up. You will jump start your metabolism and hopefully have more willpower to skip the unhealthy snacks around the office.

Almond milk
Coconut water
