Mango Papaya Breakfast Smoothie
Hey smoothie lovers! Here’s a tropical recipe for you and your munchkins (+18 months) to try. Besides being super delicious, it’s also full of vitamins and minerals to jumpstart your day the healthy way.
Breakfast can be a stressful experience (particularly during the business week) in a house with children. It can feel like there's never enough time to just relax and enjoy. Either your picky eater has chosen to reject the several options you've offered, your slow eater takes the tiniest pieces and basically chews until the food has liquefied, or your mini believes that two small bites is enough to be "all done". Meanwhile, your morning conference call is rapidly approaching or you know that if you don't leave in the next few minutes that you will most certainly be late for work. To top it all off, we were all told as children and young adults that, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day”. Cue the mom guilt.
That’s why when I discovered smoothies as a breakfast substitute or breakfast supplement, it completely changed the morning vibes in our home.
