Going back to work from maternity leave has definitely been an adjustment for me. While I miss my kiddos so much, it’s nice to be back into the swing of things and “normal life” again after months of craziness of a new baby. But going back to work and trying to find new breakfast options that are healthy has been difficult. I tend to prefer baked goods in the morning, but baked goods don’t necessary like me and my post-baby body. So I thought why not try to find some new fun ways to get a good breakfast in me, that tastes good, and that is a bit outside the box!? And I came up with this tasty Peach Breakfast Smoothie recipe for me and my family!

With it finally being warm out, I figured nothing tastes better than fresh sweet peaches, so I headed off to Kroger and picked up some essentials for my smoothie!

For this smoothie you’ll need:

Fresh peaches

Carnation Breakfast Essentials Vanilla powder

Vanilla

Almond Milk in Vanilla or Plain Flavor

Ice

How To:

I started by chopping up my peaches and putting them into my blender. I used one large peach, but you could easily add two depending on how many you have on hand or how much you’re making. From there, I added one packet of Carnation Breakfast Essentials Vanilla powder….

Finally I added about one cup of almond milk and one to one and a half cups of ice, then I blended it all together.

The almond milk can be substituted with regular milk, but I felt the added almond milk nutrition was a nice and unexpected option for this recipe and something perfect for breakfast!

Blend it all together and voila! It’s a little like an orange julius flavor, but with more peach to it. My four year old son even gave it the stamp of approval and enjoyed it!

I can totally see us mixing these up on the weekends with whatever fruits we have on hand. The reason they’re even better than a traditional smoothie is that Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder provides 21 Vitamins and Minerals with 13 grams of protein and as much calcium as a 6 oz. cup of yogurt…all in one drink! Couple that with the benefits of the fruit and almond milk we just added and you’re getting a powerhouse breakfast in one drink serving! There’s no BETTER way to start the day!

Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder comes in a wide variety of flavors such as Rich Milk Chocolate, Classic French Vanilla, Classic Chocolate Malt, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry Sensation, and the Variety Pack (which has multiple flavors).  If you’re interested in more smoothie ideas you can visit HERE to see more options!
