Breakfast smoothies are terrifically tasty, but when you're not in control of the ingredients, they can also be packed with sugar. A saccharine blast first thing in the morning is not the smartest way to start the day: Your body may crash, and you may experience a headache and crave even more sugar for the rest of the day.
To ensure you're getting all of those smoothie benefits -- hello, protein! -- without the added sugar, whip up your own concoction at home. The 20 recipes below will keep you full and fuel you all the way to lunch. Pick a few favorites and get blending and shaking all week long.s
