Breakfast Today: Everything But the Kitchen Sink Smoothie
I just bought a new blender and I love it. It blends frozen fruits and veggies with no problem and makes them so creamy that I can hide almost anything it. I suggest that you invest in a very good blender, especially if have children who are picky eaters because you can hide so many things in a smoothie! This everything but the kitchen sink smoothie is called this because depending on what I have in the fridge, that's what is for breakfast. This is perfect for those raspberries and bananas that are too soft to pack for lunches, but you don't want to waste them. And in my case, avocados that are just a little too ripe! You can also freeze ripe bananas and add them to smoothies, as needed.
This smoothie is what I made for my kids yesterday. It has good fats, fiber, protein and tons of vitamins and minerals. The best part is that they thought they were eating a milkshake, thanks to the avocado that made it super creamy! This makes 1 large smoothie or two small ones.
Everything But the Kitchen Sink Smoothie
• 1 cup creamy cashew milk
• 1/4 avocado
• 1/2 cup frozen mango
• 1 scoop plant-based chocolate protein powder
• 1/4 tsp Berry Fusion
• 1 tbsp almond butter
Throw everything in a blender and puree until smooth. If it is too thick, add a little cold water until you get your desired consistency.
