Super Smoothies

A banana smoothie makes early mornings so much easier to handle.

It's almost as tasty as a milk shake, but much healthier.

Often it's just a cup of almond milk, one frozen banana, a bit of vanilla, a squeeze or two of the honey bear, and a large pinch of ground flax seed.

Sometimes there's a bit of ground oatmeal and a generous scoop of peanut butter thrown in (now that's indulgent).

Or perhaps there's a handful of frozen blueberries as a last-minute add-in to the mix.

Any way it's blended, it's a great start to the day.

(Even if Conservative Hubby hates the sound of the blender at 6:45 a.m. ... )
