OB/GYN Dr. Lisa Masterson recommends starting your morning with a powerhouse smoothie, a mega combo of vegetables, fruit and protein that’s packed with essential nutrients.
“We’re not asking you to eat twigs and berries all day long,” E.R. physician Dr. Travis Stork adds. “Having a shake like this every morning will fill you up with fiber, nutrients and goodness."
