Not-So Chubby Hubby Breakfast Smoothie

September 18, 2014 by Tabitha 13 Comments

This post brought to you by National Peanut Board. All opinions are 100% mine.As a work from home, homeschooling mother of four kids (ages ten and under), breakfast is often an afterthought, squeezed between checking my email and starting school. More often than I would like to admit, I feed the kids a quick bowl of cereal while I skip breakfast completely. However, a recent trip to the doctor revealed that I need to take better care of myself and that means making breakfast a priority. Since September is Better Breakfast Month, I started right away.But, what do you do when you hate to eat breakfast, are striving to be gluten-free, and don’t have a lot of time? You can have Peanut Butter for Breakfast!

peanut butter breakfast recipes - YUMMY!

When in a super hurry, even a scoop of peanut butter on a spoon is better than no breakfast at all, and with each spoonful having a great dose of fiber and the good fats, eating peanut butter for breakfast is an easy serving of protein. Plus, since protein makes us feel fuller longer, peanut butter can give you a nutritious boost of energy that lasts much longer than a dull cup of coffee.

Because I not only need protein but more vegetables, I have started adding spinach and carrots to a smoothie in the mornings. The only problem is that my smoothie can taste a little… earthy. By adding a scoop of peanut butter, the taste of vegetables is covered with a yumminess that makes eating a nutritious breakfast so much easier.

But peanut butter at breakfast is not just a great idea for adults! My children love what we call “breakfast pizzas.”

I spread peanut butter over a waffle or pancake instead of syrup and top it with fresh fruit like bananas, strawberries, or blueberries. Sometimes, we go a little crazy and sprinkle a few mini chocolate chips.

The children do a happy dance as they approach the table and I do a happy dance watching them start their day with a smart choice that doesn’t break the bank. At approximately $0.16 per ounce, that is a lot of nutrition in a tiny tummy without spending a ton of money.

And, for the husband on the go-go in the mornings, I can give him a treat that makes him think he is being served a dessert. The Not-So Chubby Hubby Smoothie makes his day start with over 30 delicious nutrients and phytonutrients.

Peanut butter for breakfast just makes everyone happy, and if you need more recipe ideas, you can visit the National Peanut Board and follow them on Twitter and Facebook.
