I love to drink my breakfast. I came up with this delicious shake after trying different variations over time, and I have it many times a week.
What you need:
Carnation Instant Breakfast drink Mix, the No sugar added kind. CHOCOLATE*
1 small banana (frozen is way better-makes the shake more icy and cold)
1/2 cup oatmeal-I use the quick cook kind
7 ice cubes
1 cup Almond Milk**
Combine milk, oatmeal, drink mix, and banana in blender, and pulse until the oatmeal and banana have been cut up small. A banana chunk surprise in the middle of this shake will ruin it for you and make you gag quicker than anything. So make sure it is smooth. Then add your ice cubes. Pulse on your quick pulse for a few times, then turn to highest speed and blend until it has cut up your ice. The tip to this is to make sure you still have icy-ness in it, so it doesn't turn into a watery shake. When it has the consistency you want, pour it in a tall glass and drink that baby up!
*I love when they came out with this kind, because it cut the calories down by 80!
**You can use your choice of milk, but I recently discovered that I LOVE the taste of Almond Milk, and it has 20 less calories than fat free milk!
If you make it this way, you have yourself a breakfast at 330 Calories. When I am NOT training for a half marathon, these calories for a breakfast are a little bit more indulgent than I like. But if you are getting yourself a good workout in that day, than this is a good start to your day.

I love this! Now I just need to go buy a blender dangit. And my version is similar. I just add peanut butter and take out the oatmeal... It was more a treat for me.... but I am for sure gonna try this. And I also love almond milk!!
