In college, I picked up one of these from my favorite smoothie shop on days I knew I'd be studying hard and not eating another meal for a few hours! When I trained for my first marathon, I used this smoothie as a base for my favorite protein shakes after a long run. Now as a mom, I love serving this to my kids (and me!) for a snack packed full of energy. —Elizabeth Slade, Riverside, California
