Breakfast of champs ! Or a mom trying to make it through her hectic day !

So this morning I had an 8:30 appointment to workout with a friend , followed by my Saturday spin class , I teach at a gym , and then a Zumba fundraiser for a wonderful foundation ... And then my oldest daughter had a buddy over for a while ... Phew ! I woke up knowing I'd need to have a powerful breakfast to get me through my fun day ! Time to bust out my blender :) . I have a green smoothie 3-5 times a week , consistently . I can put in greens that I don't totally love ( beet leaves ? Red kale ? ) and get it to go in a yummy package ! I try lots of varieties , and I'll post them as we go - but this is my current fave !
Mary's Get Up And Glow Morning Smoothie
1/2 - 1 c. Green curly leaf kale
1/2 frozen banana ,fresh is fine .
1/4 c. Plain Greek yougurt - or coconut yougurt
Protein powder of choice , vanilla
Chia seeds - 1-2 tea .
Ice
Blend and enjoy !
OH !!! The next picture is of my fave "packaged " breakfast product it's a oatmeal with quinoa , amaranth , pumpkin seeds , cranberries , oats of course , and no SUGAR ! Yay ! I love all the varieties , Mayan mix has unsweetened cocoa , Asian dried mango , so healthy , clean and yummy !
