Smoothies are one of my favorite things to drink in the morning for breakfast or just for a quick 'pick-me up' snack...Although smoothies are often yummy and healthy it's very easy to pack on the extra (not needed) calories...Here is a simple recipe to make a delicious drink under 3 minutes. 

*If you are vegan (or) your tummy just simply cannot handle dairy, you may substitute the milk for soy, almond or rice milk instead for an equally delightful treat.

'Vanilla Latte'

I woke up to a pleasant delightful surprise this morning...mom made french toast, topped with fresh strawberries and whip cream. It was absolutely DELICIOUS! There was also the delight of a fresh coat of snow outside, which sparkled under the sun...After breakfast, I made a special vanilla latte for my father and I to enjoy...it was the best tasting latte I have ever had in my life! (not exaggerating at all)

Everything from the meal to the coffee and cozy warm feeling inside was delightful....it felt like heaven.
