I get bored with oatmeal. Especially when the weather is hot and humid like is the norm at my house in the summertime. This summer when berries were fresh and I wasn’t feeling good about my swim suit I started drinking fruit and yogurt shakes for breakfast.
I didn’t go all out and add protein powder or anything like that. I simply opened my refrigerator and put together a cup of Greek yogurt (vanilla flavored), a handful of blueberries and tossed in a few strawberries. I added 5 pieces of ice and about 1/2 cup milk.
No sugar is needed because the yogurt has the vanilla flavoring and that is enough for me. You may or may not want to add a teaspoon or two of sugar if you give this a try.
I pulsed the blender on the crushed ice button a few times and voila’! I really never intended to blog this little recipe of mine except that it is so dang tasty and really filling and I thought you might like to give it a try.
I realize that for the most part the fruit is now stowed-away frozen in the freezer, but that’s okay. The frozen fruit works equally well. I also tried cantaloupe that was almost past it’s prime and boy-oh-boy is it delicious! The weather is finally turning cooler and oatmeal may be back in style. But for me — I am shaking up the morning with fruit and yogurt!
Have a blessed week,
