Thanks for sharing your recipe. I like the ingredients and it would no doubt taste good. The only but would for me that the smoothie is packed with ingredients blended together and upon drinking is kind of flushed through your system, which you alternatively couldn’t digest in such speedy way. It’s very much the question if your body is able to absorb all these beautiful ingredients

What an awesome start to your day. I’ve been making Jamie Oliver’s from his everyday superfoods cook book

Sounds like a healthier option compared to Up n Go and other flavoured milk poppers.
Thanks for sharing!

  Thank you mom, we haven’t been buying any milk drinks ever since we found the perfect easy formula to make our own 🙂 and I hope you can do it too. Missey

It looks quite gross. But I like all the ingredients individually, so I’m sure I would enjoy this drink. Awesome for those tine poor in the mornings

  LOL, thank you for your honesty mum, I suppose you can make a nice colorful drink without the drinking chocolate, cacao and maca powder. See how you go!!
  Cheers, Missey

What a powerful recipe, Missey! It looks delicious. I would change banana for mango though, because I really can’t stand bananas! 😉

  I love mango too, but they are not in season at the moment though, if you are like me that don’t mind using the frozen mango, it’ll work with this recipe.
  Please let me know how you go, Missey.

Sounds so good, I love a good brekky drink, and yours sounds so much healthier than the ones I make!

  I’m sure you and I are just like any other mums that want their kids to at least start up the day with good brekky.
  So I thought why not share this one that had been tried and tested, pretty well received by mine.
  Enjoy, Missey 🙂
