Fruit and breakfast smoothies are a great way to start your morning while getting the nutrition you need. Some are really difficult and may take a while to prepare, but there are several that are really easy and don’t require a lot of prep time to make them. In fact, you usually have a lot of these ingredients on hand at home.
Take one cup of water, a 6 ounce can of orange juice concentrate, one cup of milk, 10 cubes of ice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch or two of sugar, depending on your tastes. Place all the ingredients into the blender and blend until very smooth. Freeze to use later or drink when blended. Because there is no slicing or dicing you can prepare this drink quick and easy the morning you want to serve it.
Coffee is definitely a breakfast staple, but here is a new twist. Take 6 ice cubes, 2 bananas, about a cup of milk and 2/3 cup of coffee and blend until smooth. This drink will kick start your day and give you a flavor to savor.
How about one for the kids? Adults love this too, so prepare to enjoy! You will need to chunk 1 frozen banana, a cup of milk, 1/2 C of vanilla ice cream and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Blend until smooth, if it is too thick to drink, add milk until you reach the consistency you desire and drink up!
For the next one you will need some frozen fruit. You can use any frozen fruit available such as strawberries, blueberries, peaches or which every fruit may be your favorite. Use a cup of frozen fruit, a cup of milk, a 1/4 up of sugar or sugar substitute and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Blend together until smooth. This makes a great fruit smoothie and a great taste treat for breakfast.
Breakfast doesn’t have to be eaten anymore. Drinking breakfast can be just as fun and just as nutritional as the contemporary breakfast of bacon and eggs. Since people today are very health conscience, bacon and eggs to a lot of people are a no-no but smoothies can be a yes-yes. They are low in fat and low in cholesterol and taste really great. The next time instead of reaching for the frying pan, reach for the blender instead and eat or should we say drink to your heart’s content.
