This is a breakfast that hits the mark for protein and taste, and it also happens to come with its own aromatherapy treatment. Mint calms and refreshes, so start your day by tearing up the mint leaves and taking a deep mindful breath. Pairing blueberries with greens gives you a powerful dose of plant-­based medicine, and covers your bases for your vitamin needs. The juicy wild blueberries plus an added subtle sweetness from the mint pair well with the vegetal taste of the greens.

Cooks' Note

Frozen berries are a great way to trim your grocery shopping budget while still preserving the nutrients. They also create a vibrant purple color and add a creamy texture to the shake.
