No more skipping the most important meal of the day.

But the truth is that I’m always looking for clever time-savers that don’t compromise on quality.

So, I was particularly excited when I discovered Dollar Tree’s smoothie starter packs.

These convenient little bags of frozen fruit and spinach have been a godsend to my morning routine.

Each one is perfectly portioned and ready to dump straight into the blender with my liquid of choice.

The smoothies are on the tart side, which I love.

For example, theBetter Goodssmoothie packs from Walmart retail for $3.12 for the same size.

This isn’t a deal-breaker to me because it takes very little effort to add an extra handful ofspinach.

It’s like dessert for breakfast.

Adding extra frozen bananas can easily turn it into a “nice cream.”

Most importantly, they’re a solid base for a good morning start.

Thanks to these packs, I’m officially out of excuses for skipping breakfast in 2025.
