My Favorite Breakfast

August 14, 2018

hello all!
so i’m pretty sure i can say one thing to make all of you mad in an instant and think: why kate?  well here it is:

i don’t (usually) eat breakfast

yeah, i said it. feel free to blow up in the comments. but pretty much all of my life there has been a daily fight with one or both of my parents about how i : a) didn’t eat breakfast that morning or b) how i refused to eat breakfast today. yeah, its been something that more or less never felt natural: breakfast. you know i didn’t really get hungry in the mornings till about 10 – and i’d snack in my classes around then anyway! but ever since i’ve been running in the mornings i come back starving. since i’ve never really been a breakfast gal i’ve been attempting to find my ‘perfect breakfast’ and i’m pretty sure i’ve found it, a smoothie.

i’ve talked about this in the past, but this is my smoothie recipe, and i can either drink it or eat it as a smoothie bowl!

here’s the recipe:

1 packet of TJs or sambazon acai
1 cup cold brewed green tea (how to complete in steps below)
1 whole frozen banana
unlimited assorted fruit either fresh or frozen
steps:
#1: the night before you plan to make your smoothie, fill a cup with cold water. insert a bag of tea (which ever you want, but i choose green tea always!). let sit in your refrigerator overnight.
#2: take out acai packet, run under room temp water and break up in the packet for easier blending
#3: fill blender with the rest of your fruit, begin to blend.
#4: add cold brewed green tea until desired consistency – i like mine a little icy (similar to a slushy)!
#5: remove from blender out onto a glass or a bowl. top with your favorite toppings or enjoy plain!

so guys – thats pretty much my ‘go-to’ breakfast. i love the taste and texture so i’m consistently going back to this fave and eating breakfast ~almost~ every day.
