Adding a puppy to our family seems to have added about 20 extra minutes of lateness to our mornings. Little booger. Thankfully I have at least 2 or 3 Yoplait Smoothie Mixes in the freezer at all times! So much easier to tear open one of these, add some extra fruit and milk and blend away.

Today’s Out the Door Smoothie ingredients include:

1 package Yoplait Triple Berry Smoothie Mix, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries, 1 banana, 1/2 cup crushed ice and about 1 1/2-2 cups skim milk.

Delicious! Absolutely positively delicious! I finally added enough milk to make the consistency perfect. I wish I wouldn’t have eaten breakfast because this smoothie was another breakfast by itself! That’s okay though. I substituted it in for my morning cup of coffee at the office.

I keep wanting to add peanut butter or chocolate to a smoothie. I’m afraid. CJ told me about a smoothie recipe she uses that has both peanut butter and chocolate in it:

Her morning smoothie – one banana (to which frozen is her preference, 1 T peanut butter, 1 cup soy milk, 1 scoop chocolate protein powder, ice.

One day I’ll try it. One day…
