Smoothies

Talking of breakfast, I thought of smoothies. I know they are easy to make but might take some time to prepare. I'll have really plan my day. I'm not dudging the best diet pills but just want to eat healthy and nutritious breakfast. Found these recipes from healthy-recipes-for-kids.

Banana Carrot Smoothie
Ingredients:
1 Banana (ripe is best - frozen if desired)

Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth
Enjoy.

Green Smoothie Tips:

ANY fruit smoothie recipe can be made "green" (into a fruit and vegetable smoothie.) Try adding a little spinach or other green, leafy vegetable to your favorite fruit smoothie recipe.
The trick is to start with the fruit and add the greens to taste.
Start teaching your kids early that "green is good." Read them "Green Eggs and Ham" if you have to and then dare them to try it!
