Mimosas

Cocktails for breakfast? yes, yes, yes.

Mimosas

• Orange juice
• Champagne

Pour equal parts orange juice and champagne into glasses, and serve.

A note on ingredients: I like pulp free orange juice for this. The bubbles from the champagne seem to push all the pulp to the top and create a weird layer of pulpyness that you have to break through before you can get to your drink. On the champagne, I’ll admit to never buying actual champagne to make these. Any similar dry bubbly stuff will do.

Breakfast smoothie

I’ve been eating lots of smoothies for breakfast lately. They are also good for last thing at night snacks. Here is my favorite combination so far:

Orange Strawberry Smoothie

• 1 C frozen strawberries
• 1 C orange juice
• 1/4 C water
• 1/2 C plain yogurt
  
• 1 scoop protein powder (I’m using Whole Foods soy vanilla)
• 2 packets sweetener ( I used Truvia)

Combine everything in a blender and blend until smooth.
