What I'm Eating: Full Punch Breakfast Smoothie :)

Little Miss B woke me up about 30 mins earlier than what my alarm was set at but I decided to suck it up and take my time getting ready.  I always appreciate those days where I don't feel like I'm running out the door.  It makes the rest of the day feel relaxed and calm. 

I decided to use the extra time to plan out a really great smoothie.  The Full Punch Breakfast Smoothie is what I came up with.  D woke up to a nice surprise before he scooted out for work, lucky guy!

Here's what I did....

Ingredients -

    -1/4 cup Blueberries, frozen (unsweetened), unthawed -3/4 cup Sliced Peaches, Frozen (Food Club) -1 cup Soy Milk Plain Light -1 Banana, fresh, 1 large (8" to 8-7/8" long) -1/4 cup Dannon Greek nonfat plain yogurt -1/2 cup Quaker Old Fashioned Oatmeal (not instant) -1 tbsp Peanut Butter, chunk style
Directions -

In a blender, add all ingredients.  Put the frozen fruit in the bottom and top with the cup of milk to soften and thaw out.  Add remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly to ensure oatmeal and chunky peanut butter are blended well.

Serving Size: 1.5-cup servings

Number of Servings: 2
Cal: 274 Fat:7 Carbs: 45.6 Protein: 12.4
Don't worry; this healthy, delicious power-packed smoothie is a complete meal in a glass.  It has texture, sweet, a tiny bit of salty and tons of yummy flavor without any guilt.  It will keep you full well into lunch time.

On another note: My office got pizza today for receiving great patient satisfaction results in the last quarter.  Hot Box...Mmmm....so good...so cheesy, so meaty, such greasy greatness....
But NO! I resisted and stuck with my soup and salad from home.  I deserve a little pat on the back for such self restraint while watching coworkers noshing it all down.
