Christy,
Liven up, indeed! Since I blog for SunButter, I appreciate that creations. And since my breakfasts are really becoming boring, I can’t wait to try a few of these — especially the pumpkin cheesecake smoothie. We also have 3 kids who are starting to rebel on breakfast, so I’m hoping these can help me get them back on track. Thanks for the excellent ideas!

Christy,
I tried the first one this morning, with a few adaptations:
Added 1 Tbsp or so of Organic SunButter
Water (instead of milk) and about 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder (I then reduced the pudding mix by about that same amount)
RAVE reviews from even picky teenagers!
Say. Mind if we add the pancake recipe and adapted pumpkin cheesecake smoothie recipe to our online recipe box? It’s here: http://bit.ly/9Pm79a Full credit to you and a link to your blog, of course.
