I'm more of a night owl than a early bird, I mean seriously it's so bright all the time here, at least at night it's quiet and i have a much wider range of freedom around the house. I definitely prefer to be alone in the kitchen so I can really spread out and make what I want without judgement. So I quite often cook late at night after my mum has gone to bed. My point is though that breakfast is my least favourite meal of the day.
When I have to get up in the morning and need to have breakfast I find myself feeling very unenthusiastic and really quite lazy. So for some timesavers that let me have ten more minutes in bed I've begun experimenting. I started by freezing individually wrapped muffins for a quick and easy breakfast. I even tried healthier ones with carrot in! Not my favourite texture but ill experiment more with the next batch.
And now...now I'm trying breakfast smoothies! I generally don't drink them very often but I'm thinking if I have them literally prepped then I'll have no reason not to. There wasn't much range of fruits at the local market so all I got were apples and pears which was very disappointing. But that's ok!
I probably should've googled and tried specific recipes but I really just let loose my random side.
Because I wasn't sure how it would work i tried both blending then freezing the smoothie, and leaving it chunky when froze to be blended when I want one. So I made two batches of each 'flavour' and stuck them in the freezer. So all I have to do on an early morning before work is grab a blended one and let it defrost a little before popping it in a glass to drink. Or quickly blend up a batch and enjoy.
Also I wanted to make it feel a little breakfasty I added some breakfast oats...you know, the ones you pop in the microwave with some milk and then force yourself to eat. It made the texturea little strange but should help to keep me fuller for longer.
So do you have any super delicious smoothie recipes I should try?
