Smoothies offer a great and healthy way to start your day—and simple snacks to enjoy at any time. You can use fresh or frozen fruits. Those fruits that are just a little too ripe to enjoy on their own are perfect to chop up and freeze for a smoothie so that they don’t go to waste. If you want to add some protein to your diet, you can add a protein powder or silken tofu to the mix too.
