Carrot-Ginger Smoothie

Here's a healthy breakfast in a glass. I added protein powder and a tablespoon each of wheat germ and flax seed to mine this morning.


Make it even easier by "preassembling" it (minus the ice) in your blender container and refrigerating it overnight. All you'll have to do the next morning is add the ice and whir away.
