In the world of morning beverages, there are a lot of personal preferences. There are hot drink drinkers and cold drink drinkers: Some people will adamantly order a cold coffee, even in the dead of winter, while others can never give up their hot latte, even as they sweat through an August commute. There are the people who wake up early and throw together a nice smoothie for breakfast, and those who roll out of bed and grab whatever drink is nearby. Some people really need their caffeine boost, others need sustenance.

In the end, it's nice to wake up to the promise of a delicious drink, and that's what the following recipes are all about -- starting the day off on the right sip.

I put chocolate chips in 95% of the things I make and am a strong proponent for lunch dessert.

I respectfully submit that Gena Hamshaw's chocolate banana milkshake should be included: https://food52.com/recipes/30128-vegan-chocolate-milkshake I've been known to make something similar -- minus the dates, because bananas are plenty sweet for me, and plus pure hemp powder and ground flaxseed for protein and more nutrients -- for breakfast, for months at a time, especially during the warmer seasons. Nothing like starting your day with chocolate! ;o)

I made that Gena's shake to drink with my lunch today! As the proud owner of a blender (!!! most exciting thing to happen to me all year), I just can't get enough smoothies and shakes.
