HEALTHY BLUEBERRY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE
A quick recipe I thought up while trying to decide what to eat for breakfast. Great if you are trying to figure out what to do with those blueberries in the fridge or freezer! Also great on-the-go! Delicious and includes many foods that are a great way to start your day! Many of the ingredients, except for the blueberries and yogurt, are optional and vary depending on your own taste. I love cinnamon and a thick, super-cold smoothie. This recipe is super versatile, and you can change it depending on dietary needs or personal preference. Have fun with it!

Steps:
- Put yogurt and frozen fruit in a blender.
- Blend on "ice crush" until the fruit is broken up, and continue to blend on medium speed until smooth. You can skip "ice crush" if it's not an option on your blender.
- You may need to add yogurt and stir occasionally to get the mixture to blend.
- Add Protein Powder, Stevia and Flax Seed Meal.
- Good fruit combinations include: banana-raspberry-pineapple; banana-strawberry-mango; bananas-blueberry-raspberry (high fiber).
- Notes:.
- You can buy most frozen fruit, but not bananas. Peel them and break them in thirds or quarters by hand, and put in a freezer bag. Don't slice them into small pieces or else they will stick together.
- I recommend peeling and cutting up ripe mangoes instead of buying them frozen. Be sure to break them apart in the freezer bag a few hours after putting them in the freezer.
- This recipe is low-sugar because of the Stevia and the plain yogurt. If you're not concerned about sugar, you can use flavored yogurt and/or honey in place of Stevia.
- Flax seed meal adds fiber and Omega-3 fatty acids. Be sure to use Flax Seed Meal or "Milled" Flax seeds. Not "Ground" Flax seeds.

BEST EVER CHEESECAKE SMOOTHIE (HEALTHY!)
Who would've thought you could make your favorite dessert into a smoothie. This recipe is great! Lots of protein in this! Just a note, I have altered the recipe since the last review, so it is slightly different, and very tasty ;) (If your wondering how to measure overripe frozen banana, freeze the banana in pieces... your blender will thank you and the pieces are easy to measure!)
