Breakfast Smoothies

This isn't really a "color-by-numbers" type of recipe. By that I mean this isn't something you need to follow exactly. But for those of you who have never made a smoothie at home before, like I never had before I started eating clean, this is a great way to start.

Ingredients:

• Whateva fruit! Definitely bananas, however. I usually stick to strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and pineapple. Occasionally I'll get a pear or some other random fruit but those are pretty great staples.
• Whey protein powder 
• I currently have a vanilla flavored kind which I bought on accident. Normally I had, I dunno, an un-flavored kind? Whatever it was, this vanilla flavor is MUCH more noticeable than whatever I had before. But in a good way! It's tasty. Anyway, whey is a great way to make sure you're getting a little bit of protein in the morning if this is your only breakfast. Otherwise, you can skip the protein powder and have a slice of Egg Bake with your smoothie!
• Almond Milk (I prefer Silk brand - unsweetened).

Prep Directions

• Cut up your fruits into small pieces.
• Divide them amongst pint freezer ziplock bags. Don't over-fill them: I recommend no more than just below halfway full. Otherwise your smoothie will be too big for your Blender Bottle!
• Include half a banana in each bag.
• Freeze!

Directions

• Place the contents of one bag into your blender cup.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of almond milk in.
• That is a rough estimate. I just eyeball it. Start with less if you want - you can always add more if your smoothie is too thick! 
• Add one scoop of whey protein powder
• Blend until smooth

Enjoy!
