On days when I barely have time to wipe the sleep out of my eyes, I need a no-fuss breakfast that's quick to make — and even easier to take with me out the door. For times like these, I swear by this recipe for a blueberry green monster. Containing only five ingredients, it still manages to load me up on protein and fiber, which are essential for powering me through the morning.
