I'm a pretty healthy eater, and I like making my meals, but breakfast has always been a struggle. I usually can't find time to cook before I leave for work, so I grab a granola bar on my way out the door. Most bars are just carbs and sugar, which is why I'm usually starving 30 minutes after eating one.

Smoothies seemed like a great option -- they check all the boxes: healthy, filling, and convenient. But pre-made store-bought smoothies tend to be all fruit, which is way too much sugar, and I can't justify buying produce and risk it going bad within a couple of days.

At work, I noticed my manager bringing her own smoothies in a super cute cup; they were understated, chic and didn't look like anything I'd seen from Jamba Juice. I asked her to share her recipes, but instead, she told me they were Daily Harvest. She explained that the company offers organic, superfood-filled, healthy ingredients built on fruits and vegetables, and frozen at peak ripeness. She just throws them in the blender with her preferred liquid, usually a little bit of water or almond milk (the back of the cup recommends the best option, to make things even easier), and is out the door a minute later with a breakfast that's healthy and delicious.

At first, I was skeptical about Daily Harvest; I wasn't sure about the whole frozen smoothie ingredients thing. How could nutritious, tasty foods come frozen? And wouldn't it just be healthier for me to make them with fresh produce? I did some research, and in the end, I discovered that Daily Harvest's plant-based smoothies are chef crafted, so they're way more balanced than anything I could make myself. They're packed with superfoods that help detoxify, boost your brain power and keep you energized all day. These aren't ingredients you just have lying around. And in terms of the base ingredients, flash freezing locks in the nutrients and keeps fruit at peak ripeness. So that means that Daily Harvest's ingredients are more nutrient dense than what you'd buy in a store.

After learning about how Daily Harvest sources their ingredients, I was ready to give it a try myself. I started replacing my usual breakfast bar with a Daily Harvest smoothie every day. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and convenient the process was. I merely took the cup out of the freezer, poured it into the blender with the liquid of my choice, using the helpful suggestions on the back of the cup, and watched the fruits, veggies, and superfoods spill out. I added my favorite almond milk( I'm trying to be dairy free), and voila—breakfast was served! Each blend has a variety of ingredients—like the Mint + Cacao Smoothie, packed with banana, mint, spinach, cashew butter cacao nibs and chlorella —and I'm actually alert all day. My personal favorite is the Cold Brew + Almond because it doubled as my morning cup of coffee.

Daily Harvest's smoothies have not only amped up my morning routine; they also changed my weekly grocery shopping habits; I used to spend so much money on fruits and veggies that would go to waste before I could use them. Even better, the smoothies gave me added nutrients that I didn't know I needed. Instead of randomly throwing some yogurt and fruit in the blender and not knowing the nutrition details, Daily Harvest shows the breakdown ingredients and their benefits on the back of the cup, so I know exactly what's in my breakfast. I've noticed a huge uptick in my energy levels since I've cut out sugar from my granola bar in the morning, and I am staying full and energized until lunch. It's made such a big difference in my day to day routine, and I can't imagine going back to my mornings without Daily Harvest.
