Breakfast of Champions: Berry Banana Oatmeal and Rich & Delicious Dairy-free Smoothie!

I recently learned that not all children jump out of bed starving. I was shocked! A friend of mine mentioned that her daughter wasn’t hungry for an hour or so after waking up. Not my boys! As soon as I get them up, they are clawing at my legs begging for oatmeal, sausage, and smoothies. It’s a race against the clock. Here are our dairy-free recipes for these breakfast dishes:

Rich & Nourishing, Dairy-Free Smoothie

Ingredients:

• handful of frozen berries, preferably local or organic, since berries are covered in pesticides. It’s the ugly truth.
• one sliced banana
• one cup of coconut milk, coconut yogurt (like this brand) or make your own coconut kefir
• 1/4 c of olive oil, flax seed oil or 1/2 of an avocado (for fat!)
• 1 cup of calcium-fortified orange juice
• optional add-ins: ground flax seed, handful of fresh organic spinach

Blend in a blender and serve!

Berry Banana Oatmeal

I like oatmeal. But it’s hard to get a really appetizing picture of it, no?

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup of coconut milk
• T brown sugar
• handful of frozen berries
• 2T coconut oil
• one banana

Instructions:

Pour the oats into a microwavable bowl. Sprinkle your frozen berries over them, and drizzle the coconut milk on top. Then spoon the oil over it.

Microwave for 2 minutes, then stir in sliced bananas. Divide into two portions and serve to two hungry boys.
