Drink Your Breakfast
One way to get the nutrition we need to start our day is by making a morning smoothie, shake or other breakfast drink. As moms we don't think we always have the time to make a smoothie in the morning with all the slicing and blending required. But, with the following recipes, you will find there is little or no slicing required, and they are made with ingredients you probably already have on hand.
Easy Orange Cream Smoothie
Combine the following ingredients in blender for a quick and easy, but delicious smoothie:
. 1-6 oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate
. 1 cup water
. 1 cup milk
. 1/4 sugar
. 1 tsp vanilla
. 10 ice cubes
If you don't have frozen orange juice use regular and omit the water. Pour into containers and freeze for consumption at a later time, if needed. Since this recipe is so easy, however, you may find you have time to whip it up in the morning.
Easy Banana Latte Smoothie
This is another easy to make smoothie recipe especially for coffee lovers.
. 1 cup milk
. 3/4 cup strong coffee, chilled
. 2 bananas
. 6 ice cubes
Combine all of the above ingredients and blend until smooth.
No Monkey Business Here Smoothie
Kids will enjoy this one, as well as adults.
. 1 cup milk
. 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
. 2 tbsp. peanut butter
. 1 banana, frozen
Break banana into chunks, then combine with other ingredients and blend until smooth. This smoothie is thick enough to eat with a spoon. To thin it out some, add more milk until you get the desired consistency.
Berry Fruity Smoothie
This recipe calls for frozen fruit and you can use whatever combination of fruit you like or have on hand.
. 1 cup frozen fruit
. 1 cup milk
. 1 tsp. vanilla
. 1/4 cup sugar
Combine all ingredients and blend until smooth. Easy-schmeezy and ready in just a couple of minutes.
Making smoothies and serving them for breakfast is not only a fun treat your kids will love, but they will also give you the needed nutrition to start your day. Next time you don't have time to cook breakfast, think smoothie.
