Author Notes: I can't get through a morning without a venti americano (black) and a smoothie for that extra protein boost. My mornings are pretty frantic events, certainly it is rare (never) that I have time to leisurely enjoy breakfast, so I solved that problem by making this the night before and taking it to go in a Ball Jar...lid screwed on tight of course. - rachel waters

Serves 2

1 frozen banana (I like to discard the peels and freeze a bunch in a bag)
1 cup frozen berries (I like a mix of raspberries/blueberries/strawberries)
1-2 frozen peach slices (opt)
1 tablespoon Vanilla Protein powder
1 tablespoon unshelled hemp seeds
1 handful mixed nuts (almonds/walnuts/sunflower seeds)
1 cup plain almond milk

Throw all together in the mixer and blend until smooth...this takes a while with that ancient blender. Pour into a Ball jar (because everything looks better in a Ball jar) and enjoy!
