Blueberry Smoothie
- 1 frozen banana (I buy large bunches at Sam's. I usually have one bunch on my counter ripening and another in the freezer individually wrapped and ready to go.)
- 1/3 cup yogurt (I use Stonyfield Low Fat French Vanilla - if you are paying over $4 for this, find it somewhere else.)
- 1 large or 2 small pineapple spears (I also buy these at Sam's)
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 3 small ice cubes
- 1/2 cup juice (I use V8 Fusion Pomegranate Blueberry - also from Sam's)
- a splash of water (adjust to get the texture you like)
Throw it in your blender and enjoy!
A few years ago, one of my sisters suggested that I make a smoothie for breakfast. Every morning I was grabbing something quick that usually contained grains of some sort. I was always starving before lunch and feeling sluggish. I experimented with some ingredients and this is what I came up with.
The kids and I have this every morning. Yes, every morning. Remember, I have OCD... order and consistency work well for me. :) Besides it's healthy; it's quick and easy; and it's delicious. The kids have some other breakfast goodness as well. What they don't drink goes into the fridge. They often finish it up after dinner.
