If your mornings are a dizzying whirlwind of ponytails and packed lunches then this super-easy breakfast smoothie is right up your street.
For most parents, mornings consist of a hurried few hours of getting the kids up and ready and out the door. Time for yourself, whether it’s it putting on your make-up or having breakfast, generally comes last on the list of priorities. But as the old adage goes – ‘You can’t take care of anyone else unless you take care of yourself.’
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, kick-starting the metabolism and giving you a boost of energy from the get-go and this super smoothie is one the whole family can get on board with.
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1 banana
400ml apple juice/coconut water
¾ cup of oats
Table spoon of honey
3 table spoons Greek yogurt
Directions:
Pop it in the blender until smooth and away you go. It’s that easy.
You can make this the night before or blender first thing in the morning. I usually put it in a flask to drink on the go and even give it to my daughter instead of porridge some mornings, making it a little thicker with by adding less liquid.
