I'm 40-something years old and for 40-something years, breakfast has been a pain. Some of my earliest memories are getting ready for school with my mother imploring me to eat a bowl of cereal. Breakfast just never interested me. Once high school started I was skipping breakfast altogether and grabbing two apples for lunch. Breakfast simply wasn't something I got interested in and eventually didn't even think about.

In my adult years, this pattern was well and truly entrenched. Then someone introduced me to the most amazing concept for breakfast. Anything that captured my attention was going to have to be fast, no fuss and delicious to warrant any consideration.

Instead of cardboard cereal and bland milk, it's possible to start the day with power packed, nutritious, energizing and best of all, yummy smoothies. Smoothies have been around for ages, but I had never twigged they make a great start to the day. Imagine the delight of selecting from a range such as Chocolate Strawberry, Hazelnut Coffee, Peach Almond, Banana Bread & Apple Pie Surprise. Kid you not! You can make an endless variety to suit your own taste. Now this was interesting to me.

Not only did I start regularly eating breakfast, my energy shot through the roof! This changed my whole perspective on being 40-something. A period where I thought as a mother, wife, and corporate executive I was supposed to be tired all the time. Simply not true when you feed your body with an energy enhancing, nutrition packed smoothie.

Here is one of my favorite recipes.

Strawberry Parfait

3 tablespoons vanilla flavored soy/whey protein powder
250g (6oz) strawberry flavoured fat free yoghurt
1 cup strawberries
4 ice cubes

Blend in hand-held or benchtop blender. Pour into your favorite glassware and enjoy.

Whatever you do, don't skip meals to lose weight!
