This is my stand-by clean eating breakfast smoothie. I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast. Yep, the old fashioned- steel cut, simmer for a half hour- kind your grandma would have made. And I like it..with a little bit of Truvia or brown sugar of course ;-) .. love it with blueberries, and heaven forbid strawberries tossed in! But once and awhile I get wild and make myself a smoothie in the morning. I know.. I'm sure there are earthquake tremors somewhere because of this ;-)
It's pretty basic and since I am not the most early bird riser, I dump all the dry ingredients into the blender the night prior. This save's on time and get's me out the door just a smidge faster. :) Plus you can eat breakfast in the car or at your desk. I'm not above spilling so I bought these great cups from Tupperware that come with lids with a hole in the top for a straw. Makes my 'gotta have' list!
