Juicing may be trending, but we’re more interested in things that taste good and are good for you. Our green juice is packed with kale, celery, green apples, parsley, ginger, and the occasional beet or carrot. You can include other greens (sometimes I add a piece of cabbage) and fruits like lemons. A juicer is the easiest (well, aside from the tedious clean-up duties the machines need) way to go since its powerful motor and blades chew threw fruits and vegetables in a snap, but, a good blender will do. If using a blender, cut the ingredients into small pieces and strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve, a mesh nut milk bag, or several layers of cheesecloth to sort out fiber and unprocessed bits.

And now, the pièce de resistance! This is my very favorite breakfast on the go shake. It’s basically a cold take on the basic oatmeal and fruit bowl. This shake is healthy, keeps you full for hours, and tastes absolutely delicious. Here’s the recipe:

BANANA-PEANUT-OATMEAL SHAKE

Makes 1

½ cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons salted and roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional)
1 banana, peeled and broken into chunks
1 cup almond, cashew, or dairy milk
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
½ cup ice cubes
– Pulse the oats and the peanuts in a blender until powdery. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until the drink is smooth. Enjoy immediately.
