Some of us aren't wired to eat a hearty breakfast right as our feet hit the ground. As much as we love sitting around the table to enjoy a peaceful meal, some mornings don't play out that way. This creamy, protein-packed breakfast shake has saved the day several mornings. It takes only a few minutes to blend and serve, and even if it needs to be sipped on the go, rest assured your body is being nourished while your taste buds dance with joy. Pour any leftovers into popsicle molds to enjoy later.
Chocolate Monkey Breakfast Shake
Prep time: 3 minutes; yields 5 cups

- 1/4 cup raw honey
