My dad’s morning routine — doesn’t every dad have one? — includes a dozen or so scary-looking vitamins that are chased with a protein shake, drunk straight from the blender. Each shake is slightly different, depending on what’s in season. During the holidays he’ll pop a Harry & David pear in there. Over the summer he’s a big strawberry and blueberry guy.
