Breakfast-on-the-go (2)

I have a confession to make (this is the first of many that I will probably make in the future). I hate to make breakfast, or at least most days of the week. My family is not a huge fan of oatmeal, which I think is really healthy, and we don't eat any kind of cold cereal. Also, we limit pancakes/waffles to only once a week. So, as you can imagine, our breakfast choices are limited. We end up eating a lot of eggs during the week, cooked differently of course, but it concerns me that sometimes it can be a lot of eggs. Anyway, I have found two new recipes that are easy, and/or can be made in advance, and/or can be put in the freezer for those mornings you don't have time to cook.

Smoothies
My favorite smoothie recipes are those that have some kind of protein in them so it can keep me full longer. So, here are my two favorite smoothie recipes.

Green smoothie
Just blend together the following ingredients:

• 1 frozen banana
• 2 to 3 heaping handfuls of spinach
• 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 to 1-1/2 cups almond (or soy or regular) milk

Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

Just blend the following ingredients

• 2 whole bananas
• 2 cups ice
• 1/3 cup yogurt-prefereably greek yogurt flavored with honey
• 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal (I have used raw every time I have made this recipe, ups!)
• 1/3 cup almonds

Breakfast Burrito
The next recipe is a breakfast burrito. You can find online a lot of different kind of recipes for breakfast burritos. I used this one! I didn't use sausage and they were amazingly good. Again, you can make them ahead of time and freeze them.

What is your favorite breakfast recipe? I desperately need new breakfast recipes, I get bored very easily with the same recipes.

Thanks for stopping by!

A delicious breakfast for my husband's very last day of finals

We just finished eating a delicious breakfast! Today my husband has his last test of his undergraduate school. I am so proud of him for finishing strong his last semester! We are excited to move on with our lives and start a new adventure. For his last day of finals, I thought to prepare a delicious and at the same time very nutritious breakfast so it can fuel his brain with energy to study. 

We had some toast, and homemade yogurt together with our breakfast and some grapes when we finished. Needless to say that we finished the whole pan. :-) Enjoy these pictures and click here for the recipe.

P.S For my Albanian friends, I know that in Albania we don't have Brussels Sprouts, but with what I can tell they are just mini cabbages, so I guess you can try using cabbage instead. I hope it works. :-)

Warmly,

Juliana
