Smoothie Recipes

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!
