Berry Yummy Breakfast Smoothie

My husband and I wanted to start eating healthy for breakfast. First, we stopped buying cereal, muffins, waffles, pancake mix, etc. Then we spent a couple days wondering how to replace that, and here's one of the best things we came up with! Whoever wakes up first often gets the pleasure of making 2 tall cups of this berry smoothie. We own a Vitamix (best blender ever!) and I promise, this will have you out the door quickly in the morning, and your tummy feeling very full + satisfied!

Serves 2
Ingredients:
10-12 large strawberries, washed. If you use the Vitamix, you can keep the stems on.
2 handfuls of blueberries, washed.
Agave Syrup or Honey, to taste
1/4 cup Plain Yogurt
8-10 Ice Cubes
1 cup Acai Berry Juice
Frozen, Sweetened coconut (optional)



Preparation:
1. Blend together all ingredients and enjoy!
2. I will often pour the smoothie straight into a mug that has a lid on it, and place a straw inside so that it is easy to drink while in the car on the way to work!
