I am not a big breakfast eater,  I’m just not hungry first thing in the morning.  Realizing that I “should” eat something and that “protein” for breakfast is a good thing and in my attempt to eat healthier . . . I am making smoothies for breakfast.  Just whip one up before I leave the house and then drink it once I get to work.  My daughter bought me this mini blender awhile ago so I dug it out from the back of my kitchen cupboard.  It works like a charm and I love that it comes with lids that I just attach to the container and take to work.  I’m attaching the link to the blender – it’s from Kohl’s and normally always on sale . . . if you are on their mailing list and you get their coupons . . .  with your 30% off coupon, you can get it for about $25 – what a steal! Here is the smoothie I made this morning, just like a piece of apple pie (and no sugar):

10 chopped raw almonds

1 banana

1 red apple

3/4 cup greek yogurt (I use whatever’s on sale)

1/2 cup milk

1/4 teas. cinnamon

 

normally I use . . .

 

1 banana

3 or 4 strawberries (fresh or/and frozen)

a few blueberries (fresh or/and frozen)

1 small container greek yogurt

a handful of baby Kale (you can’t even taste it!! seriously!!)

1 TBL of honey

1 TBL of chia seeds (kinda like flax)

1/4 c. – 1/2 c. milk
