Healthy, On-The-Go Date Banana Smoothie

Most of us could use a little extra time in the mornings! Between fitting in a workout, getting the kids out the door and/or getting yourself off to work, it can be difficult to find time to eat properly. While skipping breakfast is an unhealthy choice, so is grabbing something at the coffee shop on your way to the office. Most things available there will only provide you with empty calories and you're hungry again in an hour. So, if you are looking for an easy solution that doesn't require a lot of prep work, this date banana smoothie is for you.

They are good for your blood pressure, can help you fight muscle cramping and they can help keep you regular!
