Soy Smoothie

When you're in a rush a smoothie can make a great breakfast or snack. They don't require many ingredients and you can easily change them up. I often just use frozen berries, yogurt, and milk for a basic smoothie.

The following recipe is a heartier, vegetarian-friendly recipe from MedicineNet.com:
