I am a devoted addict of all things Starbucks and probably spend $50 a week there and consume way too many calories in caffeinated beverages and on those days I can't resist a bfast sandwich or banana bread.  So this morning I made the following bfast smoothie:

Supercharge Chocolate Banana Smoothie

1 Banana
1/2 scoop of Cacao Powder
Chocolate Almond milk
1 handful of fresh washed Spinach
1 spoonful of Espresso Roast
1/4 cup of sliced Almonds

It tastes pretty good, except I literally just dumped ground up espresso beans in it so its pretty gritty and I have it all stuck in my teeth so as I'm drinking it I'm  trying to keep my mouth mostly shut as I talk to people because I went and looked in the mirror and I know what they're seeing hahaha.  Also, I feel wide awake and I'm still working on it at 1022, which means I haven't been snacking on junk or anything all morning.

Ideas for next time - Brew a shot of espresso or some coffee and add it like that.

Before I left for work I also made a lunch smoothie:

2 Bananas
3/4 cup of washed Blueberries
1 handful of fresh Spinach
1 Broccoli stalk
1 green Apple
Water

So for lunch I'll have the smoothie and I brought my remaining 2 sweet potato & black bean burgers.
