Recipe: Jason's Blueberry Smoothie



Getting a ten-year-old to eat (drink) a fiber-packed fruit, milk and a heart-healthy omega-3-rich food, is no easy feat. This smoothie is named after my son who is not a big fan of any of these foods, but drinks this shake down every time! 

Yield: 2 servings (serving size: approximately 2 cups)
·         1 cup fat-free milk
·         1 packet chocolate-flavored instant breakfast
·         1 cup frozen blueberries (unsweetened)
·         1 cup frozen sliced peaches (unsweetened)
·         1 tablespoon peanut butter
·         ½ ripe banana
·         1 tablespoon ground flax seeds

In a blender combine all ingredients to desired consistency. Pour into glasses and serve.
