Good morning sunshine

University students wouldn't have 8:00 a.m. lectures in the ideal world. It's a bummer though that we live in a less than perfect place. Speaking from personal experience, any lecture before 9 o'clock is nothing but torture wrapped in a course code and room number. Let's be honest here: if the sun isn't even out and doing its job, why should you?

Whether you love or hate morning lectures, the B.L.T. Project suggests starting the day off with a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, pancakes and home fries. But a lot of food requires quite A LOT of work and at 7 in the morning (6:30 a.m. if you'e slow and super preppy) are you really that awake to wield a frying pan?

You'll be happy to know that if you don't feel like raiding all of Old McDonald's farm for breakfast, a Sunshine Smoothie will get you out of the door and on your way to class just as effectively. Morning lectures may suck but that doesn't mean your breakfast can't be awesome and tasty.
