olympic style breakfast

This breakfast smoothie might just make you feel like an Olympian. Or Popeye. I would drink it if I were either of those, but regardless, it will pump you up and fill you up, which is why I call it Olympic style. There are no actual recipe photos for this smoothie. You know why? Cause I ate it. This is a spin off of Oh She Glows Green Monster breakfast smoothie and it is my favorite fast and delicious summer breakfast. But I have 2 not-so-secret ingredients....

Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea instead of milk and Dark Chocolate Dreams by Peanut Butter & Co. instead of almond butter make this breakfast smoothie amazing! I bet you can even trick kids into drinking it! Both of these ingredients also pack a ton of protein, making this simple smoothie surprisingly satisfying.

Throw this in your blender and drink it:
1 cup Bolthouse Farms Vanilla Chai Tea
1 peeled, frozen banana
2 handfuls organic spinach or 1 handful kale
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp Dark Chocolate Dreams
3 ice cubes

If you've never had a green smoothie, don't be scared. This one tastes like a chocolate/peanut butter awesome chai banana. Trust me, spinach is very sneaky. If you're not sure about the Vanilla Chai or Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter, Bolthouse and Peanut Butter & Co. both have other interesting and decadent flavor combinations to try like Mocha Cappuchino or The Bees Knees, so check out your local grocery store. 

And one last thing, if you don't usually buy organic produce, do try to use organic spinach or kale. Both are on the Dirty Dozen List, meaning they get the most exposure and absorption of dangerous amounts of pesticides and chemicals.
