Breakfast on the Fly

Good Morning!


The birds are chirping somewhere off in the distance (not at my house because I have no plants in my yard for them to sing about.)  The air is still nice & cool and will hopefully stay that way this morning.  We're getting near record highs for mid-October still. By 9am yesterday, we were already at 80, heading to a high of 95 for the day. But for now, the door is open for some cooler air & I'm enjoying it.


Mmmmmm....breakfast....

Oh wait - this was yesterday! (cinnamon/raisin French toast with carmelized maple syrup)  Not totally healthy, but still better for you than the McGriddle and a thousand times more delicious.  I added bananas when it was all said and done.

This is Sunday morning though & we are super busy this week, so my favorite breakfast foods will have to wait another week. But that doesn't mean we can't have a tasty, healthful breakfast that we can take along with us. One of the easiest foods to make is a fruit smoothie and it's a delicious way to jump start your day.


Frozen fruit, yogurt, juice & a blender and you've got the basics for deliciousness.  My fruit of the freezer this day happens to be a combination of strawberries, mangos, pineapple & peaches.  You can also keep separate bags on hand if you want to specialize the flavors.  I generally have a large tub of plain yogurt on hand for these so it doesn't change the taste, but this morning I went for a blueberry yogurt.

It works best if you put your juice in first, then the yogurt, then the fruit.  Quantities may vary depending on how many you are making.  This batch made 2 & had about 16oz of juice, 2 yogurts & maybe a cup of fruit.

Put it all in, blend it first on low for about 30 seconds, then speed it up for about 2 minutes - yes, it's a long time, but you'll thank yourself for it.  When it's all done, it should be thick and creamy and oh so delicious!  Pour it and hit the road!  It's gonna be a fabulous day!  

Have a blessed day!!!  Thanks for taking time to read.  Let me know your favorite flavor smoothie.  Keep in mind the ones at the smoothie "places" also add sometimes a 1/2 cup of sugar! Seriously? Do we need that?  OK.  Gotta go.  Peace out!
