I know it sounds hard to believe, but they’re ridiculously easy to screw up.Think about the last hard-boiled egg you had. Chances are it wasn’t perfect. Maybe it had a rubbery texture. Maybe the yolk was a little green around the edges or the egg white was filled with pockmarks from the shell sticking to the surface of the white when it was peeled....

CloseSmoothies are a delicious (and easy!) way to start your day, but they often fall short on staying power. Why? Many smoothies lack the protein and fiber (macronutrients that help keep you feeling satisfied) that you’d get from, say, an egg-and-veggies breakfast.
