Mid morning Blueberry Smoothie

Yesterday after having Chocolate Chip Scones for breakfast I found that I craved sweets all day long. While I am not sure if it was that or the fact that I was visited by my monthly gift =) this morning but I thought I would play it safe and stuck with a whole wheat english muffin for breakfast with a light cheese spread.  I used weight watchers  jalapeno cheese wedge. (1 pt+ per wedge).  Its one of my favorite things for breakfast lately.  MMmmm mmmm.

 Last night I was looking on pinterest  for some ways  to use up some blueberries I had on hand and found some good looking smoothie recipes.  So when I started to get a little hungry at about 10 I decided a smoothie would be perfect for little girl and I.  I just went off a few recipes I used last night and made my own.  It was a perfect way to get me through till lunch and so so delicious.  I never think to do blueberries in smoothies mostly because I don't enjoy blueberries plain but this had such good flavor and was so easy.


Blueberry Banana Smoothie

1 Cup Fresh Blueberries.  (You could use frozen too.)
1 Banana
6 oz light vanilla yogurt.  (I used weight watchers 2 pt yogurt)
1 tsp agave nectar.  (You can use honey too if you dont have agave)
2 cups ice

Mix all the ingredients in the blender and enjoy. 
Extra add ins you could do: Flax seed, oatmeal (I may try this next time), almond or vanilla extract. 

I separated it into 2 servings that came to about 1 1/4 cups.
