Green-Licious Smoothie

Ok. How do I say this? My kids sleep in too much. They let me sleep in too much. I know, kind of a horrilbe complaint, right? I'm so grateful that they have such amazing sleep habits, don't get me wrong, but it would be SO convenient for them to wake up a couple hours earlier, therefore forcing me and my sleepy booty to get UP and moving! *Sigh* If only we had control of the routine, right fellow mamas?

I love getting my AM workout in, and can often do it with my little crazies running around me. They usually join me with extra mats & small weights - it's a party! But, by the time I'm done, I am starving! I've depleted energy and need a big re-boost. I have missed the usualy breakfast time, and am now closer to lunch time! What in the world do I eat? I'll tell you what.

This baby:

I typically eat 5 meals a day, and when this baby joins the meal party, I count it as Meal 1 & 2. Just a warning - I tend to measure in handfuls, so get ready to get messy =)

Green-Licious Smoothie

1 Frozen Banana

1 1/2 C Almond Milk

1 Big Handful of Spinach

1 Small Handful of Raw Oats

1 Scoop of Vegan, Brown-Rice Protein

1 Small Drop of Almond Extract

2 TBS Pumpkin Puree + 1 Dash of Pumpkin Spice (Optional - I added this for a bit of a Fall taste, because, why not?)

* Blend all ingredients and add some toppings! I added some Unsweetened Shredded Coconut & some Chia Seeds!

This big boy kept me full for a good while, and I also had to make a 2nd one after my 3 year old had a taste! (This never happens - Total mommy win!)

Enjoy!
