It’s a full meal in a bottle! I personally like to eat my breakfast…however, I don’t always have the time. I also don’t always have the time to make my son a balanced breakfast in the morning before we rush off. This is something that saves the day! You can make this shake and it should last up to 5 days in the refrigerator (in case you need to do this in advance)
Ingredients:
1 banana
1, 6oz Fage 0% greek yogurt
1/4c quick cooking oats
2 tbsp honey
ice (if you need it cold, otherwise leave it out)
1/4c whole milk, skim milk or water!
Directions:
Start with liquid and yogurt. Add the rest. Blend well

Nutrition Tip: This is a lot of carbs, however, i’m not a believer in cutting your carbs out for weight loss, ESPECIALLY in the morning. If you have a good amount of carbs and protein in the morning you’re mostly guaranteed to have brain fuel for most of the day!
But if you WANTED to reduce the amount of carbs in this drink you can substitute the banana for 1c of berries and reduce the oats to 2 tbsp instead of 1/4c. This should at least cut those carbs down to less than 30! If you’re a diabetic, this is 4 exchanges.
SweetPeaNutrition: My son will maybe drink half of this and he’s two. It makes me feel good to know he is drinking plain high protein unprocessed yogurt, real whole grains and gets a great serving of potassium with each serving. As with many toddlers, the first two meals of the day may be the best so make it count!
