Chocolate banana breakfast smoothie & giveaway winner

 

Although I didn’t ever think it would happen, I’ve replaced my morning omelet with a smoothie.

I’m clearly still on an omelet kick though because I’ve been eating them at lunchtime several times a week.  Old habits die hard.

But lately, I just really love starting out my day with a delicious green smoothie.

 

 

Right now I’m drinking a smoothie made with:

  • A large handful of kale
  • A large handful of spinach
  • 1 teaspoon of liquid chlorophyll
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  •  1 1/2 cups of coconut milk (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 tablespoon of chia seeds
  • A few drops of chocolate stevia
  • 1 teaspoon of cacao powder
  • 1 scoop of vanilla pea protein powder  (So good and not chalky tasting at all)
  • 4 ice cubes

 

Smoothies are surprisingly filling and keep me full until lunchtime especially when I add chia seeds.  Plus, they give me so much energy!

I’m off to tackle the day- and a dirty diaper- but first I’d like to congratulate Katie (comment #1) for winning my skincare giveaway.  Katie, please shoot me an email (easturner@gmail.com) with your full name and address, so I can get your prize out to you ASAP.  :)

Happy Friday!

  1. I’ve switched up my eggs to a smoothie too!! So refreshing. :)

  2. I have smoothies 5 days a week. I can’t function without them during the work week. And really the only reason I change is to make sure I get some other nutrition in there. This is a great recipe!

    Happy Saturday Sharefest!

  3. Yum! Pinworthy, for sure!
