Apples, apple juice, frozen bananas, milk, and cinnamon combine for this fabulous tasting smoothie that's nutritious for breakfast or for an after-school snack!
Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day.... when we're eating out at a restaurant. When we're home, it's frustrating and annoying as the chief cook in the family because I have to figure something out everyone wants to eat all while being still groggy from sleep and under-caffeinated.
At now six months pregnant, I also have a third little bugger who is up and kicking at the early hours of the morning and wanting mommy to eat something. A sign of things to come in a few months? Oh, I'm sure it is.
I usually go for oatmeal or yogurt for the boys in the morning. It's so easy to prepare either breakfast for them and the best part is - they love both! I have to admit, I love yogurt and oatmeal also, but I think adding a yummy smoothie for me just makes this a perfect breakfast.
Quaker has come up with these nifty NEW Quaker® Real Medleys® Yogurt Cups that all you need to do is add cold milk, stir, and you have a delicious yogurt and multigrain granola breakfast ready to eat with real fruit and crunchy nuts. It thickens as it sits - so cool! My favorite is the Apple Cinnamon flavor, which is why I came up with this delicious Apple Cinnamon Smoothie to go with.
No added sugar and simple, whole foods ingredients in this smoothie make it perfect for breakfast and after school snacks. Silas actually asked me how sugary it was because he couldn't believe it was that sweet from just the juice, apples, and banana! Of course the whipped cream is optional, but it makes this drink really fun.
Apple Cinnamon Smoothie
Ingredients
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 banana, frozen
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup no sugar added apple juice
- 1-2 ice cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling on top)
- Optional: real cream whipped cream
- Drop apples, banana, milk, juice, ice cubes, and cinnamon in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into glass and top with whipped cream and additional sprinkle of cinnamon. Makes 1 smoothie.
This makes such an awesome breakfast - I'll actually be excited to whip this up in the morning!
Real Medley's tagline is "Crunchy. Cool. Yum." and I would have to wholeheartedly agree - especially with the yum part! I've honestly seen nothing like this before for breakfast food options at the grocery store. It's the first shelf-stable fruit, granola, and yogurt available and with three yummy flavors (Apple Cinnamon, Raspberry Pecan, and Strawberry Almond) you're bound to find one that you like. It's a satisfying breakfast all on it's own with 25 grams of whole grains and 10 grams of protein.
I found Real Medley's located in the cold cereal aisle at Walmart, close by the granola. Have you tried Real Medley's? Which flavor is your favorite?
