I'm a former breakfast skipper. I only started eating it (because apparently a cup of coffee doesn't count) because of pregnancy. My mom insisted I start eating a nutritious breakfast, but even after I have this baby, I plan on continuing this habit. When I start my day with something healthy, I don't feel so ravenous at lunch and it starts my day off on the right foot. I usually drink a
kale or spinach breakfast smoothie but sometimes I need to change it up. Enter: the trendy açaí bowl. Topped with whatever you heart desires, this breakfast is satisfying and fulfills the icy and fruity cravings I've been having.
Blend together: - 1 packet of
Sambozan smoothie blend (I picked mine up at Whole Foods, but I'm sure you can find any brand at your local health food store, Costco, etc) - 1 frozen banana
(great to have on hand for smoothies, too!) - 1/2 cup almond milk
(or milk of your choice) - 1 tsp chia seeds - OPTIONAL: handful of kale
(any green of your choice is a great boost!) Top with: - fresh fruit of your choice (I am loving sliced banana, strawberries, blueberries and blackberries) - granola - coconut flakes - nuts - more chia/flax/hemp seeds - raw honey
