Brekky Smoothies

So my News Years resolution this year was to start eating breakfast especially after one of my kids said to me, after nagging him to have breakfast,  "why should I, you don't!" I thought yeah good point, so, I'm starting off small and making my own smoothies.  We all know that a delicious smoothie can be a meal in itself, rich in protein, fibre, vitamins and antioxidants. and sweeten naturally with berries oh and of course honey it's a pretty good way to start the day :)

Here's a few I like:


Berry Banana Brekky Smoothie
Serves 1-2

• 1/2 Banana (full of vitamins and potassium)
• 1/4 cup frozen mixed Berries (antioxidants)
• 1/2 cup Rice Milk (or any milk of your choice soy, almond better off not to be cows milk)
• 1 tsp honey (proven health benefits)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (boosts metabolism)

Blend with a stick mixer or in a blender, pour into a glass and enjoy!



For those who need more sustenance

Muesli Smoothie

Serves 1-2

• 1 frozen banana (freeze peeled in glad wrap or zip lock bag)
• 1/2 cup toasted muesli
• 3 tbsp. fruit yoghurt (or any of your choice)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (boosts metabolism)
• 1/2 cup Rice milk  - only if you find it too thick

 
Blend with a stick mixer or in a blender, pour into a glass and enjoy!


And for those of you who don't want any milk or some mornings its just to darn hot!!

Apple & Orange Smoothie  
Serves 1-2

• 1 apple, peeled core removed and rough chopped
• 1 orange, peeled and seeded, rough chopped
• 1/2 cup grapes (seedless)
• 1 teaspoon honey

Blend with a stick mixer or in a blender on low for 15 seconds, then blend on high until smooth, pour into a glass and enjoy!      (
