Here’s a creamy protein rich shake that you’re going to love!

A shake for breakfast? Not for me, I’m a muffin girl all the way.

This Double Almond Breakfast Smoothie needs just 5 simple ingredients you already have on hand in your pantry… whaaaat? Count me in!


Double Almond Breakfast Smoothie_1 Well, it wasn’t really that simple, I needed a lot of not-so-gentle persuasion from my new friend GERD.

What is GERD you ask? Well a short answer is really bad acid reflux. The stomach is over-producing acid and a loosened esophagus is allowing that excess to come up into the throat. It feels like you have something stuck in your throat so you have a dry cough and a hoarseness that is pretty nasty. Partner that with burning and upset stomach and I’m not a happy camper… especially because as a food blogger I’m tasting food constantly.

Over the last 2 months I’ve been suffering with a big-time attack that called for a change in my diet to cool things down. The first step was eliminating the common foods that trigger GERD:

  • alcohol, including wine
  • chocolate
  • citrus fruits and juices
  • coffee and tea
  • peppermint
  • tomatoes and tomato sauce
  • fatty foods, high-fat cheeses and sauces
  • spicy foods

O.K. so the list turns out to be all of my most favourite things… crying a little bit now.

Here’s what I have on the GERD-friendly list:

  • banana
  • almonds and almond milk
  • chicken and turkey
  • most vegetables and leafy greens
  • oatmeal
  • melons – cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon

O.K. hopefully this is not forever, (inside voice talking…), pull up your socks and turn what looks like a seriously bland diet into something yummy! Let’s start with breakfast! 

Double Almond Breakfast Smoothie_2 This Double Almond Breakfast Smoothie has all GERD-friendly ingredients and the bonus… totally awesome taste!

Layout 1 5 ingredients, what could be easier? Just pop the banana, ice cubes, almond butter and honey in the blender, add almond milk and give it a quick buzz. Easy Peasy.

Double Almond Breakfast Smoothie_3 I recommend using ripe bananas for the greatest sweetness and creamy texture. If you like a chocolate shake (hating you now…), add a tsp of cocoa powder before blending.

With protein punch and delicious flavour, I think I’m a smoothie for breakfast girl convert. Enjoy!
