Ever since Chobani decided to temporarily discontinue some of their yogurt flavors, I have been at a loss for breakfast ideas. For over a year now, my breakfast every single day has been a vanilla Chobani, granola, and a fruit of some sort chopped up and all mixed together. And yep, you got it, they discontinued vanilla. Vanilla??? Isn't that a staple flavor? I was so mad. According to my grocery store, it's not coming back till at least July. Super lame move Chobani, just sayin'.. I tried other vanilla Greek yogurts, and they were too sickeningly sweet for me. I was at a total loss until I was reading Kath's blog one day and discovered this amazing thing.. a doughboy smoothie. I made it my own, using almond milk and adding plain Chobani, (what, you guys didn't want to let that one go??) a frozen banana, and making it green. Last night in the blender, I combined one cup of almond milk with one cup of oats and let it sit overnight. This morning, I added the frozen banana, yogurt, and one handful each spinach and kale.
I promise that's one handful each green.. I had to shove it down to make it fit. (TWSS?)
All blended up
Added a few sliced strawberries
Topped with granola
This smoothie clearly needs to be eaten with a spoon. It makes SO MUCH smoothie, do you see how it fills the entire container? I have had this for both breakfast and dinner and it fills me up. It also contains a little of everything, carbs, fat, protein, fruits and veggies. I actually couldn't finish it this morning, but I am oddly not very hungry today. Maybe because I didn't work out this morning? Oh yeah, I started working out in the mornings :) But more on that in a later post.
Anyway, back to work for me now. I hope everyone is having a good Monday!

This looks so amazing and healthy! Smoothies you have to eat with a spoon are BY FAR the best kind. So much more substantial!
:)
It keeps me full for HOURS, I love it.
