    Fruit Smoothies: Match any kind of fruit and yogurt (you can substitute canned fruit but it’s not recommended) and put in blender along with some OJ or grapefruit juice. You can put in any kind of fruit cocktail as well for filler. Nuts are good too and vegetables (carrot and tomatoes) are a good idea. Naturally sweet, healthy and delicious, not to mention cheap these are a great breakfast must have.

    love the kitchen sink muffins, gonna keep on loving your delicious recipes!
