Lately, I've been in a true breakfast funk. It used to be my favorite time of day. I adore breakfast food. It just isn't appealing to me right now. Instead of going through the options and telling you why I don't want to eat this or that, I'll tell you what I've been eating for breakfast for the last two months.
Dry cereal.
Yes. As a toddler would.
I roll out of bed around 9:00am (in time for The View), I make my coffee (which I've also been having a love/hate relationship with as of late) and I pour a bowl of dry cereal (usually Oatmeal Squares) and I sit down in front of my Google Reader and I munch, munch, munch away.
Like a toddler would. Or a squirrel. I don't know. I haven't had cereal with milk in months.
One day, I didn't even want dry cereal (!). That's when I knew something was wrong. Lately, I've been forcing myself to eat something, anything, because I know that breakfast kickstarts one's metabolism.
So I made this. Bananas are, of course, a superfood. The protein powder makes it taste like a gosh-darn milkshake. And the peanut butter gives it a real kick. It's pretty subtle, but you'd definitely miss it without.
Six months ago, I would've thrown some spinach into the mix, but lately the thought of spinach makes me cringe. As does the thought of most vegetables.
What are YOU eating for breakfast these days? Please tell me. I have all of one week before I need to get my act together and feed myself before 8am. If you don't help me, it's not gonna be pretty.
PB and Banana Protein Smoothie
makes one large smoothie
1 frozen banana
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (I used Nitrean.)
1 T. peanut butter
1 cup almond milk (or regular or whatever)
about 4 ice cubes (a handful works)
This is the part where I should not be allowed to blog recipes...
Mix it up in the blender. Of course.
Happy weekend!
