Meal Prepping Made Easy

I am not a coffee drinker. Shocking, right? But when I need a quick boost of energy, I usually turn to this smoothie recipe to give me some form of energy. I use protein powder to help keep me satiated until my second meal. However, you can skip the protein powder if you like. All you need is: 1 cup of frozen mangoes  1 hand full of spinach  2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder  1 tablespoon of matcha tea powder  1 banana  1.5 cups of water Since I live with my family, I generally make this the night before so that I don't wake them up at 6am. I leave the smoothie in a shaker bottle and I grab it before I head out!  If you like hot drinks in the morning, I sometimes make ginger tea, which is a lot simpler than the smoothie. All you need to do is grate some ginger and lemon zest with some boiling water and then add some cane sugar, or liquid stevia.
