Go-To Breakfast Smoothie

Description
I love smoothies in the morning. They’re so versatile and quick. This one may be strange to some but I like that it’s healthy and still tastes good. Change, add, or omit as you please!
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk (cow's, Soy, Almond, Whatever You Want)
- 1 whole Peeled Banana
- 1 cup Frozen Fruit (I Use Strawberries, Blueberries And Peaches)
- 1 Tablespoon Milled Flax Seed
- 1 Tablespoon Wheat Germ
- 1 Tablespoon Peanut Butter, Crunchy Or Creamy
- 2 teaspoons Honey, Or To Taste
Preparation
Throw everything into the blender. Blend until smooth. Pour into your favorite glass and enjoy!
It will be a little grainy with the flax seed and wheat germ, so if you have texture issues, you could definitely leave those out. And sometimes I go nuts and use chocolate syrup instead of the honey. That’s the fun part about smoothies, there is no wrong way!

Jared – Thanks for the link! I love Alton Brown! That’s what I love about smoothies! You can throw just about anything in! I made this smoothie while I was pregnant. My husband thought I was nuts with the peanut butter!
Nick (blenderreviews) – I just have a 12 speed Hamilton Beach blender. I use it on the “smoothie” setting.

OH, and the best comment I have for all of these smoothie recipies is to just make them in a LARGE cup/glass and just use a stick/immersion blender.
Makes cleanup so so easy.
I actually prepare and drink it after I get to work in the little sink nook we have!

I make something similar to this based on Alton Brown’s Buff Smoothie:

It adds pomegranate juice.
Didn’t have the idea of peanut butter though, that would be interesting!
I might start adding protein powder too.
I bought some milled flax, we’ll see how that goes!

What kind of blender did you use?
There are two main types of smoothie blenders – masticating juicer or centrifugal types – I guess for breakfast the later one would be a good fit, since its fast to make smoothies.
