The Perfect Healthy Breakfast Smoothie For Beach Day

Summer is now in full swing. Beach season is upon us, putting the fear of the perfect swimsuit body within us. We say, this doesn’t have to be a time for stress – instead focus on nourishing your body with healthy food and nutrients. Regardless of the season, it’s never the wrong time to start doing right by your body. When you feel good, you look good!

Unless you haven’t opened Facebook in a year, you’ll have noticed that green smoothies are the health craze of the moment. They’re an easy way to pack all your vitamin and mineral rich veggies into one sitting. This is a trend we can get behind! This recipe is our favorite find because it’s filling, given that the Greek yogurt provides some protein, and the chili powder gives it a surprising kick. Not only that, the citrusy lime and cilantro will kickstart your metabolism. Try whipping one of these up in the morning to look and feel fabulous all day.
