Green Blender (pictured at top of post)

What: Smoothie service

Areas Served: Covering the East Coast from Boston to Washington, D.C.

How It Works: It;s time to rethink that morning coffee ritual and consider the smoothie. All you need to become a master smoothie maker is a blender, water and ice — Green Blender does the rest. “Everything is pre-portioned, ” explains founder Jenna Tanenbaum. “Just go down the recipe, throw it all in, hit liquefy and that’s it.” Subscribers receive a box shipped to their door that covers a full five days, with each smoothie yielding 24 ounces. (That’s enough for 2 to 4 servings, depending on your appetite). Inside, everything is packed neatly in plastic bags, labeled and portioned out, and includes a letter with storage suggestions, pro tips and all the week’s recipes, which are rarely repeated. You’ll not only get a nourishing breakfast, but also work with ingredients like kumquats, purple cauliflower, mesquite powder, tarragon, pumpkin seeds and butternut squash. Not your everyday smoothie!
