Superfood Smoothies to Get You Through The Busiest Days

As a salon professional, you rarely take a minute to sit down and eat a balanced meal. That does not mean that you must skimp on the wholesome nutrition you deserve! Next time you know you have a busy schedule, whip up one of these tasty, balanced meal replacements in your blender and stick it in the fridge for a quick meal on the go. If you make a habit of it, buy a personal blender, like this awesome Oster Personal Blender, to avoid clean up and save time in the morning.

For all recipes, add liquids first followed by solids, blend and go!
