Breakfast Smoothies + Pops
These protein + oat protein-pops are for the whole family. Quick, convenient, and tasty. Fruit adds flavor and fiber; the protein keeps us from getting a glucose spike too early in the morning and houses sustainable energy, oats aid in stabilizing our blood sugars through and altogether. It is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.Here's the best part — we know how hard it is getting out the door in the morning, so make these the night before, freeze them and serve the kiddos "popsicles" for breakfast en route to school. No more tears and tantrums when they don't want what you're serving. The recipe makes enough for mom and dad to enjoy one too!Inspired by my friend's Daughter Ever! #happyEVERafter
