    Kids’ Everyday Smoothie and Other Breakfast Ideas

    Every morning I make myself and Matt this smoothie for breakfast.  I love that it is a great way to start our day, full serving of veggies, greens, fruit, tons of protein and healthy fats.  Once the girls realized this was our everyday, they started asking for smoothies every morning too.  After going thru several variations, we have finally nailed down their favorite recipe. Here’s what we are currently doing: 1 C of ice 1 C of milk of choice 1/2 C of frozen blueberries 1 C of frozen strawberries 1 large banana 1 tbsp of hemp seeds(or a scoop of protein) 1 tbsp of local honey Add all ingredients…

It also helps to simplify my grocery shopping each week as I know exactly what I need.  I’ve started doubling the recipe each day, so Matt and I each have one for…

He brought back some of the most beautiful looking salmon filets you’ve ever seen. …
