Smoothies are a great way to add fruit, dairy, and protein to your breakfast or you can have one as a pick-me-up whenever you need it. We normally do a smoothie breakfast once a week. I let the boys throw whatever they want into theirs (within reason) and they have a piece of peanut butter or nutella toast to go with it. Its a quick, easy, healthy breakfast that they all love!
Here are a few of our favorite smoothie recipes!
- 2 bananas
- 6-8 frozen strawberries
- 4 cups chopped kale
- 1 cups light unsweetened soy milk (or low-fat dairy milk)
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- 2 Tsp maple syrup
- 8-10 ice cubes

Blueberry Vanilla Smoothie
