Fat Fueled Blueberry Smoothie

So, I love the idea of smoothies-but somehow, they've always let me down. They've let me down in the sense that I want to be one of those people who can drink a smoothie for breakfast and be satisfied until lunch, but that's just never the case. I'm always hungry immediately after drinking one, as delicious as it might be. That was until I discovered the secret-I simply wasn't adding enough healthy fat or protein to my smoothies! Healthy fats are especially important when it comes for satiation. Think of them as the low, slow energy that keeps you going between meals (or that prevent you from getting "hangry" if you get stuck in traffic on the way to dinner). 

This blueberry smoothie will not disappoint. Loaded with healthy fats and just a touch of sweetness, it's perfect for a meal replacement at home or to take on the go. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
