The Good Stuff 411

Reposting per a discussion I had today.  Really, I know many Mom’s reading this blog can tell you NO ONE in your home will complain when you make this for breakfast!  And you will love rinsing the blender out and being all done with meal one!  Add a healthy piece of toast like (Mack’s Flax-buy it at Costco and freeze it, remember real food will go bad), with some peanut butter and you have served a pretty well-rounded, healthy breakfast..with little effort. 

 At our house we set the alarm so we are downstairs early enough to all eat breakfast together and chat about the day ahead !  NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Seriously, mornings are chaos at our house.  Ideally the kids have oatmeal, high-fiber cereal with fresh fruit or yogurt, or maybe eggs and toast.  But MOST mornings we are on the run so the cereal gets inhaled, or breakfast barely gets finished and we throw fruit or a snack bar at them in the car. 

Doctor Oz shared the shake he and his wife serve their kids for breakfast and it looked like a winner.  Sure enough both kids SUCKED it down! 

So blend it up and throw it in some to-go cups if you feel like the kids didn’t get enough to eat!  Check out the protein, they will be ready to hit the books FOR SURE!
