At least once a week, I start my day with this green spinach smoothie. It might sound a bit crazy to eat spinach for breakfast, but these green leaves are full of vitamins and minerals. This breakfast really does give your body a shot of health! Short on time in the morning? Make this smoothie before you go to bed and store it in a to-go cup in the fridge so you can grab it and run the next day.
