Quick Start Breakfast Drink

  • Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
* 2 cups canned Crushed Pineapple (I prefer the sugar free kind). You can also use sugar-free pineapple juice here, it will make the drink less-thick when it's done. Again, here i prefer the chunks as it's more fruit & fiber to my diet for the day)* 2 ripe medium Bananas, peeled & sliced * 2 cups Plain or Vanilla Yogurt * 1 cup fresh or frozen Strawberries * 1 tbsp. Vanilla extract * 1/4 cup Wheat Germ (optional)
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a large blender. Stir until smooth.

If your blender isn't large enough you can make half the recipe.

Makes 4 servings

    Any substitution suggestions for the pineapple? I'm allergic to it and this sounds interesting. - 6/17/12

    Sorry, no I don't know what is a good substitute. My suggestion is just to try some different combinations until you find one that works for you.

    What can I substitute for bananas? I'm allergic to them, cantalope and honey dew melon. Thanks! - 2/29/12

    I haven't tried it with anything else, but I would think that extra strawberries or pineapple would work, or adding another fruit like blueberries, apples, or maybe kiwi would be good.
