Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, however, it is my least favorite. I don't usually like "typical" breakfast foods, especially at breakfast time. I also can't skip it because it ruins my day. I have to eat close to when I wake up or things go sour fast. I have done many things over the years to combat the breakfast blues. I'll eat leftovers, cake (its like a muffin), granola bars, and even periods of time where I'll eat typical breakfast foods. I think I found a new breakfast trend for me-smoothies. I used this recipe as a basis, but I think I can branch out to different combinations. I liked that it was easy to make and had several ingredients I have at home on a regular basis. This smoothie was delicious and was a great way to get in some fruit (my least favorite food group). I also liked that it made enough for 2 smoothies. So, I drank one for breakfast and had the other the next day. I just added a little more ice, blended, and was ready to go. Another nice thing about the smoothie was that it was pretty filling. I didn't feel starving at lunch time. I used orange juice as my liquid and strawberries, but you could easily change up the liquid and berry options. Plus, by the time I had finished my smoothie, my coffee was cool enough to drink. Win-win.
