Lifestyle: Jump Start Your Day with a Healthy Smoothie

by / Monday, 01 October 2012 / Published in INSPIRATION STATION

Monday Lifestyle:

Mornings are super crazy at my house.  There’s usually no time for a real breakfast, since the kids begin school at 7:30 and are usually out of the house by 6:35am.

This is not a good thing when you live with people who would rather sleep til noon.

My Go-To remedy for this is some type of bread (bagel, 9 grain toast, raisin toast) or a breakfast bar and fruit smoothie.

Here are typical ingredients I keep as staples:  I usually buy ginormous sizes of frozen fruit and juices at Sams Club to save money.

My Recipe

  1. 1 cup organic vanilla or plain yogurt
  2. i cup frozen blueberries
  3. 1 cup frozen mixed fruit (strawberries, pineapple, peaches)
  4. 2- 3cups of juice (apple, cranberry, grape, pineapple juice)
  5. 1 banana
  6. 1/4 cup of either Energy Greens or Fresh spinach
  7. 2 squirts of agave nectar to sweeten
  8. Mix in blender , serve it up in disposable cups so they can drink  it on the run.

Variations:

  • substitute different fruit combinations
  • substitute soy milk for the yogurt or almond milk
  • try adding fresh greens (spinach, kale, )
  • add oats for a thicker, heartier drink
  • add flaxseed oil
  • add nuts (walnuts or almonds are great)
 Give these a try!
