“They” say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that it should be consumed within an hour of waking up. Reality for me is either a coffee run on the way to work or a yummy, instant oatmeal once I get to work – which well past the “within the hour of waking up.” I figured since I don’t have one of these – besides trying to eat cereal while driving isn’t something I want to try – I’d whip a quick smoothie to drink on the way to work. (Lucky, too, that I had all I needed for a smoothie.)

PB&J Anytime Smoothie

• 2/3 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup organic yogurt
• 1 banana, sliced
• 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) berries of your choice (today I used frozen organic blueberries and organic rapsberries)
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 1 cup ice

Place ingredients in a blender and blend for about 1 minute. Yields a little more than 2 cups.

Let me know what you think…
