mmmMonday: The perfect breakfast smoothie


Smoothies and I got super close over the summer, and let me tell you - I enjoyed myself. Smoothies are easy, they require minimal clean up [especially with the magic bullet] and there is really just nothing better than having a filling, delicious smoothie for breakfast every. day. of. the. week. After having made them all summer long, my process is down to a Sorren-friendly science.




3/4 cup blueberries
1/4 cup greek yogurt
1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 - 1 banana [always depended on how many I had left]
1/2 teaspoon agave or honey
1 teaspoon matcha [for your caffeine-kick]
1/2 scoop whey protein [if you have any]

My ingredients tended to vary slightly depending on what I had on hand / was able to steal from my parents house. I know, I know - I am definitely too old to be stealing food from my parents house but I'm a big weirdo and don't like to spend money on things like whey protein - however, I WILL spend endless amounts of cheese. 


If you have whey and/or matcha, what you want to do first is pour in the almond milk and then add the whey and/or matcha and blend. Not only does this make the smoothie deliciously frothy, but it mixes up the powders so they aren't gross, ruining your smoothie one clump at a time later. 


Once blended add blueberries, banana, agave and yogurt. I like to keep the blueberries by the top so they don't stunt the movement and yogurt closest to the blades to help with blending. I also like to hide the agave inbetween the fruit and yogurt so it doesn't get stuck to the sides. Like I said, down to a science.


With the bullet I blend it for about 2 minutes, 3 tops and then that's it. You are good to go! If it's too thick, add extra almond milk until you have it to your liking. If you're full time fancy, feel free to put it in a glass... but be warned, that will take longer and create extra dishes.

  1. Purchase from local manufacturers if possible; if not,
    purchase direct from the manufacturer to ensure the
    most freshness - all-natural beauty products don't contain chemical preservatives, so their shelf-life may be shorter than their conventional chemical-filled counterparts. The term natural means only pure ingredients are used directly from nature as opposed to synthetic ingredients and organic products simply means that the molecule comprises of carbon and natural skin care products have no boundaries with regards to organic or natural products. Apricot: Apricot is the base ingredient of cosmetic scrubs due to its natural exfoliating properties.

  2. However, with the movie Zombieland, it was an entirely different approach to
    dealing with zombie apocalypse. In fact the term zombie came from the region
    and refers to persons who have undergone such a mind altering experience.
    Who even knows if it will happen.

  3. To ensure that you are buying the genuine article rather than a cheap copy buy from a well-established website.

    Cleaning cartridges should be replaced every month or two (though we may be up to six weeks), which can make
    you a bit expensive for some people. It can also be utilized in the shower
    as nicely and fully eradicates scattering hair all over the bathroom.

  4. Here are the four most important ways slow cookers save you money:1.

    According to these sites, the batteries and other accessories you'll need can be purchased inexpensively on auction sites. As a matter of fact, most recipes are long cooking ones that require several hours of cooking time to complete.

  5. You just might make someone's day. Old Maid Cards and Uno are also perfect options. I have many such items on the front of my fridge and I have always struggled with powerful magnets that didn't take up too much space.

  6. They have had them on since, and haven't once tried to remove them. But many shy away from using them after reading horror stories of house fires that were caused because of their use. With its Herculean power, the wind is capable of slipping into the home through tiny cracks in the windows and underneath the doors.

  7. It was small enough to get into all the small hard-to-clean places.
    Periodontal disease goes through three stages: gingivitis, periodontitis
    and pyorrhea. Like most non-rechargeables, the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Pro comes with just two brush movements, spinning and
    side-to-side.

  8. So one definite advantage of the Sinus - Aero system is that, your portable nebulizer comes with liquid medications (as prescribed by your physician) made by
    a trusted sinus compounding pharmacy. With the reservoir filled,
    plug the spray gun into either an electrical outlet or an air compressor.
    The only noise is the excess air escaping from the vent.
