Instead of drinking coffee in the morning which gives me some palpitations, this is my new morning drink.
Carrot and banana smoothie.
Today is my second day drinking it. It's so refreshing and I feel so full afterwards. Well, who wouldn't? I drink two glasses in the morning and I drink the remaining during noontime or in the afternoon. I also share it to my parents.
Have you tried this smoothie? What do you drink in the morning?

@brokenbee maybe try flavored yogurt to lessen the milk and sugar?

@hereandthere Oh yes I have heard that's healthier but I haven't tried it yet. It's more expensive though

I drink Tim Horton coffee . . and eat a small bowl of white rice, 2 medium hard-boiled eggs, a hotdog, and sliced tomatoes. This kind of breakfast makes me going, and going, and going, like a good battery!
. . What do you eat for breakfast, pretty lady?!

I eat whatever is there in the kitchen. LOL but most of the time, we have sliced bread. Other times I cook noodles. And other times, I cook fried rice. Hihihi

Oh, I like that, my dear Arbie! But, because I easily catch colds, I will enjoy a glass of that by 10am, my snacks. I still drink coffee in the morning during a light breakfast. Before that? A warm glass of 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar & 1 tbsp pure honey! Wowowie!

I'm not really into smoothies but my mother-in-law is a great fan. One time though I think her little experiment went a bit too far. She mixed several fruits and vegetables and turned them into a smoothie that made her vomit immediately after drinking it.

whoa! Hahahaha! Yes, there are fruits and veggies that don't taste good when blended.
I didn't like the taste of cucumber when mixed to carrots. Hihi

I haven't tried it. But now that you mentioned, maybe I can try it so the kids will also have their veggies and fruits in one glass.

yes, and I drink decaf sometimes. But since it's already summer, I don't want coffee anymore. Hihi
I just add 2 to 3 medium sized carrots, 3 bananas, 2 scoops of powdered milk or 1 small can of evap and 2 tablespoons of sugar. And I also add ice til the glass pitcher (oops, is that how you call it) is almost full.

That does sound tempting to drink. I might try it soon. Any kind of carrots?

Yes, me too! That's why I can't drink much coffee. I love my new drink. But I think I should not add ice in my smoothie if I have to drink it in the morning.

Oh, okay. Hmmm but you can try this too sometimes. You can prepare the ingredients at night then you just have to blend them in the morning.
