Q: What do you do when it is 10am, you still haven't eating breakfast, you've run 4 miles and need some restorative calories, and you are about to get on a conference call and don't want to be slurping and chomping into the phone?
A: You whip up a silently sip-able and delicious breakfast in the form of a smoothie. Mine is protein and potassium packed, making it a great recovery drink, and I split it with little J, who got kind of hot on the run himself. He sucked it down and asked for more, so this was a win-win all around.

*Please note: I had no time for photos this morning... I was truly on the fly. So I found the beautiful photo above on All Recipes, where it illustrates a recipe for a Banana-Peach Buttermilk Smoothie which looks divine... try both recipes while the weather is still toasty!
Wow - this sounds delicious!! And seeing as it's in the 90s yet again up here in crazy ol' VT, I hope to whip this up soon. Plus, I love the name!! :-)
ReplyDeleteSound yummy! I actually had a smoothie this morning because I was late and so I drank it on my drive into work. :-)
