Drink : Banana Almond Butter Smoothie

An easy quick and healthy smoothie that will satisfy your stomach in the morning! 



For a year and a half now, I've been making (or trying to make) myself a healthy breakfast every morning.  I feel really good getting up early and making myself some oatmeal with fresh fruits and pairing it with a cup of coffee.  But it gets super repetitive and I'm getting bored! During my month-long winter break of 2013, I had a lot of time and so I would take my time making my oatmeal.  Steel-cut is my fav but it takes SO long. It takes at LEAST 20 minutes and toward the end of that 20 minutes, you really have to stand there and stir or else all hell breaks loose.  The whole pot is ruined! Or at least the very bottom of it is burned! As soon as school started, I found myself waking up late and rushing out the door.  I knew then that I needed to switch it up a little.



Now that it's the summer, I really wanted to make a quick, refreshing breakfast.  It's not as quick as pouring cereal and milk into a bowl but it's not processed! Well.....SOME of the ingredients are.  This healthy mix of bananas, almond butter, almond milk, chia seeds, and quick oats will surely get your day to a quick start! It's so easy to put together and you can eye-ball everything. It's totally up to you!!

This smoothie will be sure to get you out the door quick and the almond butter and chia seeds will keep you satisfied with all that protein! There's also a good amount of fiber in that smoothie.  It's not the daily recommended but it's some of it :) Enjoy!
