Is the start to your day crazy?  

Maybe you get up late and are rushig to get ready for work.

Maybe you have kids that you that you need to get ready and out the door in time to catch the school bus.

Or maybe you are just trying to get off to a good start- calm, cool, relaxed.

Fuel Up!
Whatever the case may be, it is important to get get fueled up to face the day..
Just like your car doesn't run when the gas gauge registers empty- you too don't perform at you peak level if your body is not energized and ready for action.

So, make a promise to yourself- and treat your body like it desevers to be treated!  

One of the ways to do this is to get a good, healthy nutritious meal inside so you function well on the outside. 

I'd like to share a few of my favorite recipes from my book Grab & Go Breakfast Recipes  that can help you keep that promise.

      Mango Lassie Smoothie

      Ingredients:
      1 cup low fat plain yogurt
      1 mango- cut up
      2/3  cup  water
      Handful of ice
      Flaxseed meal and wheat germ
      Dash of cinnamon
      Dash of cardamom





The best way to make the perfect smoothie is to forget the measuring cups and rely on a little trial and error.  The ripeness of your fruit, whether it is frozen or not, and how good your blender is, all factor into the amount of time you will need to blend your smoothie. 

A good smoothie will be just liquidly enough that you can suck it up through a straw without having to strain your lungs to the point of bursting.

Toss your ingredients into your blender, liquids first, then buzz away!

If your smoothie is too thick, add more liquid, if it is too watery, thicken it up with more ice, yogurt or frozen banana.
