Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

(from Buster Owens’s recipe box)

Experiment with different fresh berries. You can use fresh bananas, but then you have to add about 3 ice cubes. I prefer the frozen bananas, which is a great way to use older bananas that you normally would throw out in a couple of days.

Berries are the best fruit to use; I use blueberries and strawberries when on sale. Whatever the fruit, make sure that it is pitted.

While there is a definite calorie count to this breakfast smoothie, it is virtually fat-free. I find it non-filling, thoroughly satisfying and it covers dairy, carbohydrates and protein. The Kasha has the protein of an egg.
