Grab a Smoothie! http://www.ameribev.org/blog/2011/06/no-time-for-breakfast-grab-a-smoothie/ http://www.ameribev.org/blog/2011/06/no-time-for-breakfast-grab-a-smoothie/#comments Wed, 08 Jun 2011 16:29:07 +0000 ABA http://www.ameribev.org/blog/?p=2843 Although the old adage touts it as “the most important meal of the day,” many people don’t eat breakfast regularly.  It’s an understandable predicament, as our lives become increasingly busy we simply don’t have time to sit down to a full meal in the morning.   even so, eating breakfast no matter how simple energizes and prepares your body for the rest of the day.

To get you out of this jam, we at Sip & Savor would like to offer a potential solution—the fruit juice smoothie. With fruits, flavored yogurts and a wide array of juices, the combination possibilities are endless.  Why not try one of the juices our member companies make blended with fresh summertime fruit, ice and yogurt?  Or try one of these creative ideas? These delicious treats take mere minutes to blend together, and you can even prep your ingredients the night before to save even more time on hectic mornings.  Smoothies make a simple and easily portable breakfast that is sure to refresh you during the scorching mornings of summer.

Give them a try and let us know what you think!
