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. ![]() No Cook Breakfast Bars Ingredients Kashi cereal Dates Nuts: Sunflower seeds, walnuts, almonds Optional ingredients: Unsweetened coconut Unsweetened coco powder Cinnamon Brown sugar A great grab and go breakfast! Make a big batch and freeze what you will not use within a few days. You are only limited by your imagination- no specific measurements needed. Use what you have in the pantry at the time. Place all ingredients into a food processor to blend. Form into bars, place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet overnight to dry. Cut into bars, wrap and freeze the extras Well I hope I have inspired you with a few of these recipes!

I am not really a huge fan of cereals, so I do not have anything that I want to say to this. Well, I know that this is a big issue, especially when it comes to people, but that is not what I am here to say. If you ask me, people need to be more aware of what they eat. Sure, it might have been advertised heavily, but that does not mean that it is good. Do your research, people.
