Mornings are hectic for moms. Getting everyone up, fed, cleaned up, dressed and out the door is quite an undertaking. If you’re like me, you do all that you can to simplify the morning mayhem. Baths before bed, lay out clothes the night before, wake early to cook and clean up, etc. We do a LOT of work to make life simpler. Ironic, isn’t it?
In an effort toward a healthier me, I have been making sure (or trying to) that I get a decent breakfast. That’s just not always easy. Even with pre-cooked options, I still find myself running out the door with a huge cup of coffee and little else. That’s where Simply Juice drinks come into play. With some frozen fruit, and a little ice, you can whip up a tropical fruit smoothie to start your day. Simple, easy and good for you! I can throw one together while scrambling eggs or packing lunches. It only takes a minute and is so worth it. Since I already serve juice with breakfast, this is a no brainer.
Did you know that Simply Juice Drinks has introduced a new premium line of juice drinks available in three delicious flavors:
- Fruit Punch
- Tropical
- Mixed Berry
They are perfect for smoothies. You could also make cocktails by adding a little vodka, or rum. Better still, just drink the juice drinks. They’re pretty amazing. The juices from Simply Beverages are all natural and made with simple ingredients. They contain no added preservatives, colors or artificial flavors and are made with real fruit juice. Simply Juice Drinks can be found next to other Simply Beverage favorites, in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. All three great-tasting flavors are available in a 59-fl. oz. multi-serve bottle. The Fruit Punch and Tropical versions are also offered in convenient 11.5-fl. oz. single serve bottles. Great for grabbing when on the go. Much better than sodas!
My Simply Juice Smoothie
This smoothie recipe makes about 40 oz of smoothie. Please take that into consideration before making yours. I share with my kids and hubby. If you don’t need a huge batch, you can easily cut down on the ingredients. You could also make the full amount and freeze portions for use later.
- 12-16 oz of your favorite Simply Juice Drink beverage
- 1 package frozen tropical fruit blend
- Ice
- Add ice fruit and juice to your blender.
- Turn on and crush until all ingredients are mixed
- Add more juice or water as desired
- Enjoy
Other items you can add are carrots, spinach, chia seeds, and other items jam packed with health benefits. Serve this up with a healthy breakfast for an extra boost to your day. Add a side of nuts and some low fat string cheese (throw them in a sandwich bag the night before) for an on the go breakfast that’s pretty well balanced! If you have a good blender, this will come together super quick. You can also use a food processor. I love my blender because it had a crush button that makes smoothies super simple!
