This is a great post – love everyone’s ideas. I’ve never been a smoothie drinker or a breakfast eater but recently did a lot of research on smoothies in order to boost my energy level (65 and flagging). I agree with the poster about using coconut milk (unsweetened) instead. With the fruit in there you’ll never really notice. Plant-based protein powder (pea and brown rice) and absolutely no soy. I also add flax seed. I’ve only been drinking these for a week and already notice an increased energy level so I’m happy!

Your smoothie recipe is very similar to one I’ve been making for years. Last year I made the leap to using kale instead of spinach at the suggestion of a nutritionist friend. Apparently kale is the most amazing food I never knew about. So try swapping the spinach for a handfull of chopped kale. (If you’re worried about the kiddos noticing, my boyfriend, who is basically a large man child and the pickiest eater I know, doesn’t even notice the kale.

If you want to get really healthy, then I recommend getting a high end juicer and making the mean green drink (google it) everyday, it will make a huge difference in your health and skin, but the downfall is the time involved in constantly getting fresh vegetables to juice. I also make a drink similiar to jamba juices razzmataz. I use a pack of frozen rasberry’s, orange juice, ice and some sugar. My kids love it too.

I love breakfast but am usually not hungry first thing in the morning so lately I have been making a smoothie in the morning and drink it while I get ready. My favorite is a strawberry banana smoothie.

4-6 frozen strawberries, 1/2 banana, 1/2 cup of nonfat yogurt, 1/2 cup water (or milk) and a handful of ice . On days that I do a tough workout I’ll add some vanilla protein. Enjoy!
