A quick breakfast idea that can be easy to make and packed with nutrition is a smoothie. My favorite is the Juice Plus Complete which is a balanced protein carbohydrate powder made with chickpeas, sea veggie plus 17 fruits, vegetables and grains.
I blend a cup of soy milk with 1/4 c. frozen or fresh mixed berries, a banana, 1/4 c. ground golden flaxseed, 1/8 c. walnuts, a scoop of Dutch Chocolate and water to desired consistency. The French Vanilla Complete can be used with a variety of fruits or veggies for a power packed breakfast or “pick me up” snack. These drinks give me plenty of energy and sound nutrition to tackle the day. When my children were at home I usually offer whole wheat toast or bran muffins with the smoothie.
When my daughter and I were on the trail we made a simple chocolate drink for breakfast with the Complete mix, soy powder and water. After pouring the mixture in our plastic bottle we could shake up a quick healthy meal. Nutrition on the trail was a challenge and this drink provided antioxidants, proteins and carbs we needed for repair and energy. It’s light weight and compact.

I miss your bran muffins!
Having the Complete on the trail was great because it was quick and nutritious. Thanks!
