The Easiest Morning Breakfast

This is not earth-shattering news.

Smoothies are good.

Smoothies are easy.

Kids like smoothies.

Smoothies are one way to sneak some fruit and vegetables into your kids' diets (and yours)!

Here's our daily morning smoothie.  My kids ask for it every morning, and I find that I crave it.  My morning doesn't feel right if I don't start off with one of these.  Please excuse the bedheads in the shots below.

Using two straws is optional, of course, but I find that it gives the smoothie a little extra something.

Here's the recipe:

GREEN MONSTER SMOOTHIE

one banana, broken into pieces

handful of frozen sliced peaches

handful of frozen pineapple chunks

handful of frozen mango chunks

big handful of spinach (about 1 cup)

1/2 - 3/4 cup of orange juice, more as needed

Blend and enjoy!
