Morning Breakfast Smoothie

Breakfast is the hardest meal for me.  I don't particularly love eggs, unless I'm dipping toast into a runny yolk.  Since I'm reducing grains, it's extremely difficult to find breakfast options that don't involve bread, cereal, or oatmeal.  Basically I alternate between two breakfasts:  two eggs with a sausage or a smoothie.  Neither of them keep me full for more than two hours, but they are both packed with protein.  My favorite smoothie recipe to date is:
 
 
 
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 banana
1 cup frozen fruit (I get a mixture of strawberries, peaches, pineapple and mangoes)
1 scoop of strawberry protein powder.
 
Put it all in a blender and mix it up! 

 
I haven't ventured into "greens" for my smoothies yet, but maybe soon!
