Ginger, strawberries & banana smoothie

I started with 1/2 frozen bananas, 1/4 cup of unsweetened almond milk, and ginger root approx my thumbnail size, 6 medium frozen strawberries, 2TBSP plain Greek yogurt
In my handy food processor I blended the first 3 items until fluffy then blended in the last 2 items leaving strawberries still chunky.......ENJOY!!!

"YES...I did it, I made pancakes

I got up thinking of pancakes because today is my official 'cheat day' and I wasn't about to do to go soft to day. Thanks to Dr. Oz recipe that allow me to cheat and feel good about. I used 2 whole eggs instead of 1/2 cup egg beaters and a capful of 'essence of vanilla' plus I added some fresh blueberries... Poke me with a fork because I am done. The four I made was too much for me so my son stepped in to help me out.

Breakfast to go...blueberry oatmeal cup

This was very delicious and filling, it has fresh blueberries in the oatmeal, almond milk soaked chia seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, all topped with a dollop of vanilla pudding and cruched cashews almonds and sunflower seeds

 

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

1/4 cup water (more if needed for desired thickness of oatmeal

1/4 cup old fashioned oats

1/8 tsp. cinnamon, nutmeg to taste

1/4 cup of soaked chia seeds (I soaked them in almond milk overnight)

1 TBSP of vanilla pudding (made from the box)

1/2 cup fresh blueberries

1/2 medium ripped banana sliced

1 TBSP of a blend of nuts (I keep on hand a crushed blend of cashews, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds, I put it on most of my shakes and breakfast cereal)

  

 

1) I cooked the oatmeal according to directions and my taste in the almond milk and water, added the cinnamon and nutmeg allowed to cook, added the blueberries during the last 4-5 minutes 

2) layered the cup

Morning 'green machine'....rev it up let's go

 

This smoothie provides the fats. proteins, and vitamins needed to help me get through my morning, I'm still full it now 12:45 I drank it this morning at 9ish. In this smoothie I used:

1 avocado seed removed ***I used a small one the smallest one in the bunch

1/2 cup of Dole chunky pineapple ***no juice

1 apple ***I had a small Fugi apple that helped with the sweetness but, since the shake is green a Granny apple is good

1/2 cup of baby spinach

1 scoop of vanilla whey protein

1/2 cup of almond milk

 

Put in all in a blender

 

 

Blend and ENJOY!!!
