I am sometimes rushed in the mornings and fitting a healthy breakfast in is hard. I came up with this smoothie recipe and it is so good that my son often requests this for breakfast and sometimes for dessert too!!! I add ground flax seed (make sure it is ground) and wheat germ for added nutrition and it give the smoothie a rich nutty flavor. I sometimes add a cup of greens if I feel I won't get enough greens in that day too- you can't even taste them and it is a great way to get your kids to eat their greens!! I call it my Frozen Fruit Smoothie- it is nutritious and full of flavor-even your kids will love it! Enjoy!
Frozen Fruit Energy Smoothie
1 cup 40 or 60 calorie almond milk (plain- not vanilla- too much sugar)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 cup frozen strawberries
1/2 banana, sliced
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp wheat germ bran
1 cup of greens- I use spinach (optional- may need to add a bit of water if you add greens)
Put all in blender and blend until smooth!! Serve in a large cup with a straw!
