Re: Re: Has anyone made a hot breakfast smoothie?

February 4, 2012

I just did a delicious white bean soup. I sautÃ©ed some onion with one slice of

bacon. Sprinkled with cracked rosemary and salt. In other words pretty much a

basic white bean soup. I put that in the VitaMix with a can of white beans and

almost 2 cups of my good chicken broth. I usually have white beans divvied up

into packets in the freezer but I was all out. I cook up a couple pounds of

dried beans with no seasoning and freeze it into packets but I always have

canned in the pantry for emergency backups.

Good soup and I can eat about a custard cup of it at a time before my throat

needs to rest.

I choose beans because according to the doc my potassium is very low. He has me

on liquid potassium twice a day for a week, then I go in to have it checked.

I am roasting onions, carrots, red bell pepper and a sweet potato now to make a

nice second soup. 450F for -about 45 minutes.

I'm doing a pork tenderloin with a port cranberry sauce for .

choice of sweetener) and red quinoa, maybe a few sunflower seeds. I also make

hot chocolate that is thick like a smoothie-it will hold me until lunch. I just

blend some rice milk with homemade chocolate (you could use cocoa powder and

honey) and a few sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

non-fat Greek yogurt, frozen canned peaches in juice, and cooked oatmeal. I

didn't measure anything so an estimated recipe is below:

warmed a little up and it was much better. I added a little cinnamon and the

taste reminded me of peach cobbler.

For a savory cauliflower try addition of a good curry powder. It marries

beautifully. Curry is also fabulous with cabbage. I make a poached salmon on

curried cabbage which is a great low fat dinner or lunch.

I have always done just fruit smoothies for breakfast, I'll have to branch out

and try yours. Thanks for the idea.
