Message from Maggie:

In this edition of confessions of a registered dietitian, I am admitting that I’ve never been big on breakfast.  Ever since I was little I have been a chronic first meal skipper.  When I was little, after being badgered at my own house, I would go to my best friend Laura’s house where her mom Kathy would rattle off breakfast options, before Laura and I left for the bus stop.  I know, I know.  Is the most important meal of the day and the benefits are endless.  But sometimes knowledge isn’t power.  In an effort to become a breakfast eater, I have been innovating with morning options like those found here here here and here.  Here is another idea for christmas inspired version of a green smoothie bowl to enjoy over the holidays.

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 cups spinach
  • 1 frozen banana, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple
  • 1/2 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup coconut water (I used pineapple flavored)
  • Toppings:  strawberries, raspberries, pomegranate, coconut, kiwi

Instructions:

  1. Add all of the essential ingredients to the blender and blend on high for at least 2 minutes or until smooth.
  2. Top with optional toppings.
