Every ingredient here is available year-round at any Charlotte grocer without a special trip—banana, blueberries (frozen works fine and costs less), broccoli, pineapple, and dates are standard stock at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Walmart. The stated 10 minutes is honest if you're dumping pre-cut produce into a blender, though fresh broccoli requires a quick chop. Cost per serving runs around $2–2.50 depending on whether blueberries are fresh or frozen, which is reasonable for a breakfast smoothie but not cheap. This is a one-shot drink that doesn't reheat, so it's best consumed immediately, and it's perfectly suited to a quick weekday breakfast for one or two people without fuss.
