Healthy Snackin!

Posted in Soup du Jour

Seems like I am always on the look out for healthier choices for snacking and for breakfast. This is something that I have been doing for a few years and thought I would pass it along for anyone else that is looking for healthy eating like I am!!!

Breakfast Smoothies!

*(I never measure anything...I just add what looks good!)*

Yogurt of your choice...about a cup or so. We use Stonyfield because it has lots of good enzymes and isn't loaded with sugar or anything bad for you.
Frozen blueberries
Frozen strawberries (can use fresh when in season!)
1 banana
Wheat germ (about 1/4 cup)...just recently started adding this.
Milk to the top of that mess (also have used orange juice along with the milk)

Blend it and pour in cups.

The kids love drinking these with straws, but the smoothie mustaches are a silly bonus if you don't! You can use whatever fruit you love. It's fun to experiment. The more banana you put in, the sweeter it'll be. These also taste great with granola in a bowl. This is a great filling breakfast!

We always have leftovers, so I put the rest in popsicle molds or small paper cups with sticks and freeze them. Then when the kids ask for a snack or I don't want to make breakfast, I tell them they can have a popsicle! They think I am so cool!

That does sound good. We are trying to eat healthier too! I can't wait to try it. I should be getting a blender soon. LOL

What kind of yogurt? Plain?
