>>Shakes for breakfast are my favorite things. What do you put in yours?
I generally like to put in either yogurt or milk or leben, whatever soft fruit i have in the house, like strawberries, grapes, peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots, etc… bananas (preferably frozen, but non frozen is also ok), and lately i’ve also been adding wheat germ, whole sesame seeds, and flax seeds. Depending on the sweetness of the fruit i either may or may not add some sort of thing to sweeten it. It comes out delicious.<<
What’s great about shakes is that they’re so versatile, easy, and tasty! You can put just about anything in and it will turn out great! For my shake today I’ll have 1 c. raw whole milk, 1/2 c. kefir, 1 raw pastured egg, 2 bananas, and 1/2 oz coconut oil. For the kids I’ll be using bananas, milk, and peanut butter for the kids, with some coconut oil thrown in. But really it can be anything that is around the house – if I had to say a recipe, it would be milk/kefir/yogurt with fruit and some kind of fat. (Sometimes I prefer to have the coconut oil separately because when I use frozen fruit it clunks up into tiny pieces. ) I don’t add any sweetners – a ripe banana adds a good amount of sweetness.
I find that a shake is a super breakfast – it’s very filling, packed with nutrients, and especially helpful to me with a month old infant, easy to make and to drink.
