Mocha wake up smoothie

Delicious!! And it looked good!

 

With three kids who has time to make breakfast for yourself? Who has time to eat it even if you found the time to make it? I can tell you not me! Charlie get your shoes on for the bus! peter get off the counter ano don’t throw that at your brother! These are just a few of the phrases that occur daily in my house. With a baby crying to get fed in the background sometimes it’s a wonder I get to eat breakfast at all (which sometimes I do skip but I am trying to make an effort not to lately). This is why I love smoothies! Don’t get me wrong would I rather sit down and have a decent breakfast? Yes! ! But who has the time for that? A smoothie is meant to be quick, easy and a complete breakfast that in my opinion allows parents to get all of their nutrition requirements in one gulp. I know that this is not entirely true but I can’t help to think that a smoothie was invented with parents in mind. Below is a recipe to a mocha smoothie that adds a little jolt to your morning. Happy Smoothie!

¼ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 tsp instant espresso or coffee grinds
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 banana
1 cup milk of choice
½ cup ice

Mix all ingredients in a blender and enjoy!
