Chocolate Banana Power Smoothie
One of my favorite things to have for breakfast is a smoothie. There are so many different varieties, they take only a few minutes to throw together, and I can bring it with me on the go. Most mornings, my kids like to enjoy one with me before school. A few weeks ago, I was playing around with ...
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Smoothie
With three small kids, sometimes breakfast ends up being a granola bar, yogurt on the run, or simply missing the meal all together. I know, that is not good, but hey, all three kids are fed, so that is good, right?? Since I have found this smoothie, it is definitely my "go to" breakfast. No ...

Once the kids saw it, I made round two ...

I don't know about you, but in the mornings when the kids need to go to school, the hubby needs to head to work, errands need to be run, etc., the last thing I remember to do is eat breakfast. Ever since my hubby bought me a Vitamix, my goal has been to make smoothies on the mornings where time is ...
