Breakfast Pizza

Quick and Easy Smoothie Directions:

Just pick a liquid, a fruit or fruit combination, a protein addition and (if desired) a sweetener and/or spice. Adjust ingredients according to your own taste. The measurements for this quick breakfast recipe make a single serving.

For blending instructions, simply place all the ingredients, starting with the liquid, into a blender and add a few ice cubes. Put on the lid and blend until smooth. Add more ice cubes and/or liquid if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

Liquid:
I use one cup of plain or vanilla low-fat rice, soy or almond milk but you may prefer to use low-fat or fat-free milk or plain or vanilla yogurt. Sometimes I swap out the milk and simply use just plain unsweetened fruit juice like orange, cranberry, apple or pineapple juice.

Fruit:
I usually use about a cup to a cup and a half of fruit (cut into small chunks if needed), either a single type or a combination (see fruit combination ideas below), such as bananas, berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or blueberries), peaches, melon (cantaloupe, honeydew or seedless watermelon), pineapple, papaya, or mango.

Extra Protein:
Adding a scoop of protein powder to your smoothie adds extra nutrition very easily. Try a flavored protein powder (like chocolate or vanilla) to add a little extra flavor to your smoothies. You could also add some silken tofu to your smoothies (about 2-3 ounces per smoothie). Just break it up a little as you put it into the blender.

Sweet and/or Spice:
I drizzle in some honey, agave syrup, maple syrup or even a little brown sugar to my own taste. Sometimes I will add a pinch of spice like cinnamon, nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to add a little extra layer of flavor. Some other ideas are to use are a little coconut cream or grated coconut, a little cocoa powder or a little lemon or lime zest.

Here are some flavorful fruit combinations you might like to try:
- mango, banana, and orange juice or
- blueberries and banana or
- strawberries and raspberries or
- mango, strawberries and banana or
- cantaloupe and mango or
