Morning at our home are really, really busy.  I'm sure I am preaching to the choir when I say this; there NEVER seems to be enough time.  We assemble lunches and set clothes out the night before, as to avoid fashion arguments (what is appropriate for school and what is not) and make sure backpacks are packed and placed at the front entrance.  And yet, we always have missing homework, misplaced keys or glasses etc.  One of our favorite on-the-go breakfasts are smoothies.  Smoothies are quick, easy and best of all transportable!  Here's a recipe for a family favorite.
