Mornings are hard for me. They always have been. I’m not a big eater, but I know that getting a nutritious breakfast is the first step to having a good day. One of my solutions to my breakfast dilemma is to drink Carnation Breakfast Essentials®. I love being able to get up in the morning, prepare my breakfast drink, and then settle down and get some work done on my computer. The protein fills me up until snack time, and it gives me plenty of energy. It’s the perfect morning boost on those days when I just don’t feel like eating. I like purchasing both the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Ready-to-Drink Bottles and the powder.

My favorite flavor is chocolate. While I think it tastes great by itself, every now and then I like to mix things up. I created a delicious chocolate strawberry cheesecake smoothie. It is the perfect variation of my favorite flavor, and it’s very simple to put together!

Let me show you how I make it!

Chocolate Strawberry Cheesecake Smoothie

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

• 1 cup of milk
• 1 cup of sliced strawberries
• 1 packet of rich milk chocolate Carnation Breakfast Essentials®
• 2 TBSP. cream cheese
• 1 handful ice

First, pour the Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder into a blender. I’m using my single serve blender.

Add the cream cheese, the strawberries, and then the ice.

Lastly, pour in the milk.

It will look like this before you blend it all up.

Pour into a cup, and garnish with a strawberry!

That’s a yummy breakfast! It’s like dessert in a cup, but so nutritious!

I found my Carnation Breakfast Essentials® at Kroger in the breakfast aisle.
