Confession: I've never counted a macro in my life and I don't intend to start, BUT I am trying to eat better and more balanced. Breakfast is one area where I know I can improve. I mean, it's not hard to do better than a bowl of Frosted Flakes...and yes, I'm serious. I've been making a version of this smoothie for years, but just recently came across a high protein Greek yogurt option I'm really loving! Start with about 1/2 of the container of yogurt, add 2 handfuls of spinach, a banana and about 1/2 C - 3/4 C of orange juice. Any juice would be fine, it merely sweetens it up. Blend until smooth. Then add about 2 C of frozen mixed berries -- make sure they are frozen! You can buy them bagged at any grocer. The frozen ones make the smoothie good and cold and give it a little crunch in places. Blend until smooth. Then pour & top with your favorite granola. I always serve mine in clear plastic cups like these ones -- they are easy to hand off to my kids on their way out the door and then just throw away. I also typically use a shake straw, you can find these at any grocer, making it so that the granola usually fits through the straw. High Protein Smoothie

Hi, I'm Amy. When I'm not scouring the valley for the perfect new house, you can usually find me in the kitchen with a gaggle of kids. Chips, salsa and a Diet Coke are usually in hand. Categories
