Since getting back from vacation my husband and I have been watching what we eat.
One of the hardest meals for me to eat better is breakfast. See, I’m not big on eating a huge breakfast. Even as a kid I never liked starting out the day eating a big meal that would just weigh me down.
Not only do I not enjoy eating a big breakfast, I simply don’t have the time. I swear I am ALWAYS running late. It doesn’t matter what time I get up, I just can’t seem to get out the door on time.
That’s where this blueberry peach smoothie comes in. It’s packed full of nutrients and antioxidants, and has almost no added sugar. Plus it’s full of protein to keep you full and energized.
The best part is that it doesn’t take long to make–5 minutes tops!
Instead of making coffee in the mornings, I can whip up one of these blueberry peach smoothies. No extra time lost, and I am still running just as late as I normally am 😉

I’m with you, Amanda on breakfast; but it is the most important meal of the day especially when you’re trying to loose a little weight. Dave makes smoothie every morning. I read your recipe to him and we’re going to make it. The spinach addition is a good idea!
I hope you guys like it! It’s my favorite so far.
