Still working on the camera settings ... this smoothie is greeeen! |
I've basically always been about breakfast.
But it wasn't until recent years that I started eating what you'd call exceptionally nutritious breakfasts. Crumb muffins, sugary cereals and white bagels with butter were my staples. And boy oh boy did I love Carnation instant breakfast shakes.

How did I ever survive?
Luckily I finally discovered I like shredded wheat and don't need that extra sugar in my cereal bowl and that whole wheat bagels are better than white - and that no one should really eat an entire bakery-size bagel for breakfast. Better yet? I realized one day during undergrad that eggs are not only good for you, but they taste great, too.
Mama couldn't believe it. I'd never ever eaten eggs. She. Was. Shocked.
I think she'd also be shocked to know I now like things like this for breakfast.

Green Goddess Smoothie (aka Power Gulp)
Inspired by Health Magazine January/February 2012
1/3-1/2 cup water
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup grapes
1/4 cup sliced cucumber
1/2 small Granny Smith apple, chopped
1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder
Add all of your ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If things aren't blending too well, add a little more water.
Enjoy!
Dah!
ReplyDeleteThat's not breakfast!
On that note, I'm going to go have an onion bagel with cream cheese, just for you! :)
For sure it's breakfast! ;-) Enjoy your bagel, but you're missing out - you and my husband!
ReplyDeleteI think that looks delicious and totally like something I could drink once the coffee's working in my system. In fact, I'd prefer that over a solid breakfast. I love the idea!
