Smoothies made at home are possibly the quickest and most convenient meal you could make. Literally pop everything into a blender, give it a whiz, and you're all set. This smoothie, especially, is so filling and packed with vitamin c, fiber, and protein, that it's perfect for a post-workout refresher. I have it for breakfast when I'm in a rush, plus the Greek yogurt is so loaded with protein that it gets me through to lunch.

If you're not a fan of mixed berries, this smoothie could really go with any fruit of your liking. The flax seeds are pretty fragrant, so I like to pour it about 2 tablespoons (max) - it gives it a really nutty, earthy flavor. Depending on how thick you like your smoothies, you can adjust the orange juice accordingly.
