Banana Crunch Breakfast Smoothie

July 10, 2010 · Filed Under Breakfast Smoothies · 3 Comments 

Don’t want to sit down and eat your breakfast out of a bowl? This breakfast smoothie is great for those of us who are running late for work and prefer to drink our breakfast on the way to work. This smoothie for breakfast has it all: breakfast cereal, milk and fruit.

Ingredients:

  • 1 banana
  • 1 cup milk (I use skim or 1%)
  • 2 Tbs. of honey or sugar-free honey substitute
  • 1/2 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup of ice

Be sure to comment how this turned out for you. It can seem weird drinking granola, but it really just gives the drink a nice texture. You also might want to try adding 1/4 or 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to add a bit of tart flavor or to help smooth it out.

Cruncy Granoloa Smoothie

March 9, 2010 · Filed Under Breakfast Smoothies · Comment 

No time for a bowl of granola cereal? Take a granola smoothie to go. Great breakfast smoothie.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup 1% milk
  • 1 banana
  • 2 Tbs honey
  • 3/4 cup granola
  • 1/2 cup ice

1 serving, but it is a delicious serving. Feel free to use more or less fat in your milk as you prefer. I like a little milk fat, so I chose 1%.

Blueberry Plus Smoothie

July 30, 2009 · Filed Under Blueberry Smoothies · 8 Comments 

Here is a wonderful smoothie packed with fruity goodness. It all starts with the simple blueberry.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups plain yogurt
  • 1.5 cups orange juice
  • 1.5 cup skim milk
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup frozen peaches

Put everything in the mixer. Blend. Drink. Serves 4 or so.

A pinch of salt will help bring out more flavor, but I usually avoid it. If you think the drink is still too sour (and it will have a bit of a tang to it) you can add honey or even sugar, but you really shouldn’t need to.

Using frozen fruit means you don’t have to use ice which waters down the drink.
