She believes that living a healthy lifestyle and eating for your health isn't meant to be complicated -- it's meant to be simple, enjoyable, and judgment-free (with room for dessert). When she’s not dishing out nutrition tidbits, you can find McKenzie visiting her local farmers market, hiking her favorite trails with her husband, and chasing after her daughters.

The best days start with a nutritious meal, but when you commute to work, enjoying a well-rounded breakfast can be challenging. Thankfully, the nutribullet Flip™ is the perfect tool for fueling up with good nutrition on the go. Whether you drive to the office or rely on public transportation, the Flip is the perfect commute buddy – letting you blend delicious, nourishing smoothies to set your day up for success.

Smoothies offer several benefits that make them perfect for busy professionals. They’re convenient, nutrient-dense, customizable, and energy-supporting. Here are a few simple tips on how to make smoothies work (pun intended) for your schedule. 

  1. Create a weekly menu. Allocate some time each week to planning out your smoothie recipes. This will help you streamline your grocery shopping and ensure you have all the ingredients you need. To start, stick with a few core recipes you love. A good rule of thumb is to load your Flip blending tumbler with greens, fruit, a protein source, a healthy fat, and liquid of your choice.
  2. Pre-pack ingredients. Consider prepping smoothie packs to store in your freezer. Combine all your smoothie ingredients (excluding liquids) in reusable bags or jars. In the morning, add the contents to your nutribullet Flip™, along with your choice of liquid. Blend in the car, on the train, on the bus, while walking…you get the idea. Having your ingredients ready-to-go is hugely convenient when you’re on the go.
  3. Invest in a blender you love. It can make all the difference. Portable and powerful, innovative and intuitive, the nutribullet Flip™ is an all-in-one portable blender and insulated tumbler. It keeps blends cold up to 24 hours, and features an easy filp-to-blend, flip-to-sip design so you can blend and sip seamlessly while on-the-go.

Properly balanced smoothies that contain fiber, plant-based fat, and protein provide sustained energy for your day. If you’re not sure where to start, try these delicious recipes, which were developed by our in-house chef, and approved by our team of registered dieticians.
