Dan Russo, vegan, entrepreneur and creator of The Shopping List Bag, said this smoothie provides him the energy he needs to juggle his 9-to-5 day job and his own business. Use organic ingredients when possible. "Some mornings/nights, I enjoy the flavor more than others, so chug it if you have to, but it'll definitely keep you going!" Russo says.
