It’s back-to-school week around here, and our mornings are once again a frenzied flurry of activity as my family rushes around getting ready for the day. To ensure that breakfast doesn’t get lost in the shuffle, I like to blend up a family-sized batch of our favorite smoothies so that everyone is able to grab a healthy breakfast on-the-go. This blueberry muffin smoothie tastes just like my boys’ favorite baked good, and it’s loaded with healthy ingredients – perfect for back-to-school or anytime!I picked up my blueberry muffin smoothie ingredients at the Save-A-Lot store in Coalinga, and I was really impressed with their large selection of great foods at low prices (and their staff was super friendly and helpful, too!)! I always appreciate when great quality and money saving go hand-in-hand, and my back-to-school budget was definitely grateful for Save-A-Lot’s bargains!
The combination of wholesome ingredients including blueberries, oats, vanilla, honey, and dash of cinnamon make this smoothie taste just like my favorite blueberry muffin recipe!
Blueberries boast a ton of reported health benefits including increased energy, focus, and concentration as well as lowering the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity. That sounds like a superfood that’s perfect for busy school days!
