the breakfast of champions.

Good Morning! We have a busy day planned for today. The arrival of last minute visitors, cooking classes, cleaning house. It's one of those busy, busy summer days.
.

You're busy too, you say? Well, hop on board this band wagon... we're making our favorite breakfast!

No heavy waffles, soggy cereal, or greasy eggs to weigh us down today. Just a few simple ingredients and a quick whirl in the blender.


I always manage to find a way to fit in some:
The kids know and come running when they hear the blender motor running! Breakfast is on!

What do we put in our smoothies? Well, it's usually something like this. A cup full of ice, a container of yogurt, a hand full of berries or other fruit, a 1/2 C milk, a teaspoon or two of protein powder, and a teaspoon of flax seed. Blend to perfection, and voila:

I was just going to leave a comment on spinach too, it's great, you can't taste it at ALL! It will be green so it doesn't look too appealing, we call them monster smoothies.
