Milkshakes for Breakfast?

I'm away this week, but wanted to share my new favorite smoothie...chocolate peanut butter cup.

Here are a few ways to make a smoothie breakfast almost as simple as grabbing a protein bar:
- Keep your ingredients together, like they are in my photo below.
- Make the ingredients easy to add: put a scoop in the flax seed, get honey that dispenses easily and buy some Trader Joe's organic peanut butter - stir it once and you can pour it from the jar.
- Find a blender with a frozen drink button; you can press it once and walk away.

If you've been having trouble getting your kids to eat breakfast, try giving them this peanut butter chocolate milkshake oops I mean smoothie. It makes one adult or two kid-sized servings. I probably don't know your children, but I would be quite surprised if they won't drink it.

    The typeface at the top of this page is Goudy Old Style, the same typeface used in my first copy of The Fanny Farmer Cookbook. My copy is a successor of The Boston Cooking-School Cookbook, first published by Fanny Farmer in 1896. It was one of the first cookbooks to use the standard measures that are common today.
