Super Simple Banana Blueberry Smoothie

It was a busy Friday morning for this mommy and toddler!  This means no time for the usual sit down breakfast.  My go-to breakfast for B on days like today is always a smoothie.  I love smoothies because you can put just about anything in them, and B can drink them in the car while I run errands. 

Every time I make him a smoothie he sucks it down in no time at all!  I also feel great about giving him a healthy breakfast on the go.  This is a much better choice than grabbing a sugary or fast food breakfast. 

This is just a super simple recipe that used what I already had on hand.  Of course these ingredients could be substituted for whatever you have at home. 

 
1 cup of vanilla yogurt
 
 
 1 small banana
 
 
 1 hand full of frozen blueberries
 
 
 1 hand full of fresh spinach
 
 
 blend all ingredients together (I used my magic bullet)
 
 
frozen yogurt pops with the leftovers...YUM
 
Super Simple Banana Blueberry Smoothie 
Ingredients
1 cup of vanilla yogurt
1 small banana (I took a bite off the banana this morning to make it small ;))
1 hand full of frozen blueberries
1 hand full of fresh spinach

A splash of milk (whatever you have in the frig will work…even water works!)

Directions
Throw everything in a blender and blend (I use my magic bullet when I’m not making a large amount). Add more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. I needed it thin enough that B could easily suck it through a straw.  

How easy is that?

I had quite a bit left over, so I made frozen yogurt pops for a sweet treat that B can enjoy later!
Here are some links to the magic bullet and freezer pop molds!
