Every now and then we need that kick to get our day started, a kick to go to the gym energized and ready!
This kick must be some discusting energy drink, right?
Think again!

1 cup low-fat milk
1 cup orange juice
1 medium banana - cut into pieces
1 pack of instant oatmeal - regular or unflavored
3 or 4 ice cubes
This is so easy. Just place all ingredients in the blender and blend for a minute or so until smooth.

Yummilicious Banana Smoothiei've been surfing the web quite a lot these days looking at recipes and i've come across quite a number of recipes for fruit smoothies. unfortunately, while many of the recipes boast low cal, they forgo the flava!
seeing as i myself am soooo obsessed with finding the perfect low cal food that doesn't lose the taste at the same time, i decided to share a little tip that i picked up when i was working at the Coffeebean & Tealeaf a couple years back!

Banana-Peanut Butter Breakfast Smoothie
1 banana, chopped and frozen*
1 cup soy milk, plain
1 tbs chunky peanut butter
1 tsp bee pollen, optional
1 tsp honey, optional
Combine all in food processor and process until smooth. I drink this and two Kavli rye crackers in the morning and am full for hours.

1. Worst fast-food chicken meal
Chicken Selects Premium Breast Strips from McDonald's (5 pieces) with creamy ranch sauce
830 calories
55 grams (g) fat (4.5 g trans fat)
48 g carbohydrates
The only thing "premium" about these strips is the caloric price you pay. Add a large fries and regular soda and this seemingly innocuous chicken meal tops out at 1,710 calories.

One of my New Years resolutions was to start having breakfast every morning. I stopped eating breakfast in high school because my genius friends and I thought it would help us lose weight :OY: and now I haven't had it for so long that if I try to eat in the morning.. I get sick.

If your bananas are ripening too fast these are ideas to use them up.
*Whip up a smoothie.
1c milk
1c berries
1tbs honey and cinnamon
3-4 ice cubes
and of course your banana
*Mix into pancake batter with chopped walnuts or pecans...delicious
*Sweeten up your peanut butter & jelly sandwich.
