:: Peanut Butter Smoothie With Chia Seeds ::

Mondays come around far too quick for me, so breakfast at the beginning of the week has to be something that picks me up with a ton of energy and taste.  This Peanut Butter Smoothie With Chia Seeds is just that. Packed with protein and the right amount of sweetness, this smoothie makes me rethink my mornings!

I think I have the notorious cause of the Mondays.  How do you get over that? Yoga, mantras for having a better Monday? No matter how hard I plan and prepare for the week ahead… something gets lost in the mix. Since I can’t help that (the kiddos not being responsible for their own stuff is part of it), I can take control of making myself a healthy breakfast to start the week off right!

I drink smoothies daily. I am constantly changing the ingredients and swapping them out to create new smoothies.  This Peanut Butter Smoothie With Chia Seeds is actually one of my favorite staple smoothies.  It gives me the energy boost that I need in the morning, while it’s peanut butter taste makes me forget that it’s a smoothie. I like to think it’s a peanut butter shake (which makes me very happy to pretend, especially if it looks to be a long week ahead).  I made this Peanut Butter Smoothie With Chia Seeds yesterday, and I am proud to say one thing started off right this week {wink}!

Breakfast… it’s hands-down, my favorite meal of the day. I honestly wake up each morning, excited for my cup of coffee and ready to eat! I typically start my day with a healthy protein shake or smoothie. However, if I have a little more time, or if it’s the weekend, I get a bit more creative. Thank goodness for those days! They’re truly my favorite!

This satisfying dish is one you can whip up the night before. (Sure… that takes a little more planning, but some days just call for a special morning treat!) If you are already having quinoa for dinner… make a little extra! When the kids go off to bed, add some chia seeds and almond milk to it, give it a stir, and place it in the refrigerator until morning. Simple, right?
