Breakfast... courtesy of my 3 year old

Breakfast this morning was on the menu as being smoothies. Another favorite of my children. But this morning it was my littlest, my 3 year old daughter, who wanted to make breakfast.

So I got out my trusty cake spatula (a nice flat spatula that can cut a banana but not little fingers) and a few ingredients.

1 ripe banana
1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (we use non-fat)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup frozen blackberries (since we were using frozen berries, we didn't need to add ice cubes)

With a little adult supervision, this is a breakfast a 3 year old can "whip" up.

First, cut the banana.

Next put all the ingredients into the blender.

 

Set the blender to liquify.

And finally, pour into cups and enjoy!

Thanks little one for breakfast!

Not only are these smoothies filled with goodness to keep little bodies going strong through the morning, they are also fun to drink (my kids love the "smoothie mustaches"). We double the recipe to make a great breakfast for all 4 of us to enjoy in the morning.
