A while back I was looking for a smoothie recipe to make breakfast fast and easy.  I had a hard time finding one I liked.  The problem is I don’t like bananas.  It seemed every smoothie that sounded good had bananas in it.  So I took a couple different recipes and came up with my own. I also needed something that would keep me full till lunch.  Here is what I came up with.  I make it nearly every morning.

I switched from oatmeal to granola in my smoothies. It gives them a great nutty flavor. I have also been adding essential oils to my smoothie. I pick one according to what my body needs supported that day.
