Summertime Smoothie

Monday, June 19, 2017 No tags Permalink

One of the many things I love about this time of year is the abundance of locally gown fresh fruit. However, there are times when I just can’t eat it fast enough before it spoils. I decided to wash and then freeze 1 cup portions to make one of my favorite summertime breakfasts: smoothies. I know they’ve gotten a bad rap lately as being junk food disguised as healthy, but it doesn’t  have to be that way.

I concocted this little beauty for my breakfast today. When my bananas start to get too ripe, I peel them and toss them in the freezer as they’re as great addition to any smoothie.

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup frozen blueberries

1/3 cup Greek yogurt

1 frozen banana

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 cup milk of your choice

1/2 cup liquid egg whites

1 tsp. chia seeds, hemp, or flax (optional)

Trust me, you can’t taste the spinach but it gives this a  great nutritional boost!

Whats your favorite hot weather breakfast?
