My husband and I juggle full-time careers, have two teenage sons, and the kind of overstuffed schedules many families know all too well. Most mornings feel like a race — and breakfast often got left behind.

Then an idea... We began prepping frozen smoothie kits on Sunday nights. Packed with the best ingredients we trusted and portioned in advance, they were ready to blend-and-go. We added protein for our student-athlete sons — and quickly felt the benefits ourselves.

That first week, no one skipped breakfast. Energy was more stable, moods improved, and even the boys said waking up was easier when something delicious was waiting in the blender.

By midweek, the kits were gone — used for breakfast, after school snacks, post-workout recovery, and anytime in between. That’s when we knew: this wasn’t just for us.
