If your house is like mine, it’s a bit hectic in the morning.
Working moms may be more concerned with getting breakfast into
their kids than they are getting something nutritious for
themselves.
You may know that breakfast literally means “break the fast”.
After a night’s sleep (or fast) our bodies need to be fueled to
face the busy day. Eating or drinking something nutritious is
important, but it doesn’t have to be a full meal. If you have
time for a bowl of high fiber cereal with sliced fruit and low
fat milk, great, but if not, you do want to at least drink
something nutritious.
Whether you work from home or work out of the home, these quick
breakfast drinks can get you out the door on time, or into your
home office chair with an alert brain. Get the blender out onto
the counter and instead of pouring coffee into your travel mug,
try one of these yummy recipes:
Blueberry Yogurt Smoothie
2 c Yogurt, plain (or use 1 cup plain and 1 cup blueberry yogurt
and omit berries)
1/2 c Orange juice freshly squeezed
1 c Blueberries, fresh; rinsed
1 Banana; very ripe
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on medium speed until
smooth and frothy. Pour into glasses and serve.

speed or until frothy.
