This Power Breakfast Smoothie is the perfect way to start your morning!!! I am a lover of smoothies, not those icky kinds that use sugary “fruit” syrups… like real fruit, real yogurt…. real yumminess! I have to say I am a sucker for anything strawberry banana and that goes for smoothies too! This one is great because it tastes wonderful and is filling!
Power Breakfast Smoothie
5 strawberries
1 banana
1- 6oz Stonyfield Organic French Vanilla Yogurt
1 or 2 splashes of skim milk
1 Tbsp old fashioned oats
1 Tbsp flax seed
Some benefits of flax {information from healthline.com}
– flax seed is loaded with nutrients
– high in omega 3 fat
– rich source of lignans {may reduce cancer risk}
– high in dietary fiber
-may improve cholesterol
– may lower blood pressure
– keeps hunger at bay
Everything into a blender and go until nice and smooth! Serve over ice if you prefer it extra cold.
Some of my other favorite smoothies besides this Power Breakfast Smoothie: Green Power Smoothie Bowl, Peach Smoothie Bowl, Strawberry, Pineapple Banana Smoothie
and my Lean Green Smoothie.
