this morning i opened the fridge and realized i forgot to buy eggs for breakfast! necessity is the mother of all invention (… hunger in this case) so i combed through the fridge to see what i could make instead. we had a lot of fruit – both frozen and fresh – so i decided to create a breakfast smoothie. i didn’t have a chance to take a picture of the finished product this morning — it was so good, mgs and i devoured it pretty quickly. BUT it was super healthy and super easy to make. i paired it with an english muffin (use butter, jam or whatever your preferred spread is) and, of course — bacon.
serves 2 / prep time: 10 minutes
ingredients
8-10 frozen strawberries
1 banana chopped into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 of an avocado
fistful of raspberries
1 cup soy milk
1 tablespoon granola
1. throw all fruit – strawberries first since they’re frozen – and soy milk into a blender. crush at high speed until the strawberries are reduced then switch to liquefy until you get a smooth consistency.
2. to serve, pour the smoothie into a glass tumbler. sprinkle the granola on top. if preparing other dishes (such as heating up your english muffins or bacon), leave in fridge to chill until it’s time to eat.
as simple as that. it was so healthy that i didn’t feel bad for stuffing my face with this for lunch:
