Strawberry, Blueberry and Banana Oat Smoothie Recipe: a delicious way to start off your day every morning packed with strawberries, blueberries and bananas an an almond milk smoothie and topped off with oats!

I always thought I used to be ridiculously busy, until I had a kid, which is why I need breakfast to go fast hence this strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie. There is zero comparison from my old lifestyle to the way it is now; it’s just flat out nuts. I clearly have the responsibility to make sure food is on the table, as I should I’m a chef. So with that being said some days I have more time to prepare things than others, but 1 meal that is in demand and is in demand immediately is breakfast.

Whether it’s just me, my wife or my daughter we wake up starving beasts. Sure there are easy fixes like cereal or even oatmeal, but man I want some fresh fruit in the mornings to go along with my coffee, like this strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothie recipe.

What Goes in a Strawberry, Blueberry, Banana Smoothie:

In addition to it being sometimes maddening in the morning often times I am out the door pretty early and don’t have time to even sit down and enjoy anything so strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothies are on the menu at least 5 days a week, no joke.

Whatever fresh fruit we have in stock, some ice cubes, maybe some honey, and of course Silk almond milk. Talk about a killer way to feel really good in the morning time with all that deliciousness. I personally try not drink too much regular milk as it tends to give me indigestion and often times gives me a stomach ache, so almond milk is always the way to go for strawberry, blueberry, banana smoothies. Oh yeah, not-too-mention they are flavored! Huge Score!
