I am very proud to announce that the smoothie guy, aka yours truly was featured on page 28 in the August issue of Men’s Fitness in a story about how to make the perfect smoothie. Its a great article that teaches you about proportions, what to buy, tricks of the trade and how to master your blender. It even includes my famous PB&J smoothie recipe.

When I watch TV, I feel like there’s always a new “ultimate” breakfast sandwich, breakfast burrito or hash brown and egg smorgasbord being advertised at some fast food joint. To join in the trend, I developed a healthier alternative — the Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie — it’s a combination of all my favorite breakfast foods in a blender. 
The Ultimate Breakfast Smoothie
8-10oz Vanilla Soymilk
1 Cup Frozen Banana Chunks
½ Cup Favorite Granola
*Tasty Treat – add 2-3oz peanut butter
