This Chocolate Banana Oatmeal is packed with nutrition - perfect for starting your day!

We just finished up a week of standardized testing at our school.  It’s kind of crazy how much the school prepares for these tests, even in elementary school.  In the weeks leading up to the testing, it’s all my kids could talk about and the teachers were sending home extra homework with practice tests and worksheets for the kids to do.  I bet I got at least 10 different messages, emails and notes about the importance of a good night sleep and a good breakfast!

I am definitely a believer that kids need a good meal to help them kick start their morning and power through their day.  I want to help feed their imaginations and guide them in achieving all their goals.  I know that can’t be done on an empty belly or a nutritionless meal.  (Big shout out to Nesquik for partnering with me to bring you this yummy smoothie recipe. This post is sponsored but the recipe, photos and ideas are my own.)

We are so rushed in the mornings, I often prepare breakfast ahead of time or stick with something quick.  Usually it’s something with eggs or oatmeal.  I’m lucky my kids like oatmeal so much- it’s just so easy to make a big batch and eat on it throughout the week.  I will admit though, after 3 or 4 days straight of oatmeal, my  kids do start asking for something else.

I’ve got a great secret ingredient to that I use to pump up the nutrition in our breakfasts and make those last few servings of oatmeal super-duper yummy!

This Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Smoothie is packed with nutrition - perfect for starting your day! (plus it's an excellent way to serve up leftover oatmeal.)

Can you guess it? It’s Nesquik!  The kids love Nesquik in their milk and I love that it has the addition of seven essential vitamins, minerals and Iron, so it’s also a fabulous addition to breakfast items.  (Plus it has 45% less sugar than the leading syrup brands!)

    I think my teens would actually stop for breakfast if I made this for them . Some of their favorite flavor combos.

    I am all about the smoothies! I have never added oatmeal to them though. Looks so good

      It’s actually really good. I’ve made them before by adding uncooked quick outs, but the cooked/cooled oatmeal works so much better. Not grainy at all!

    I hadn’t thought to put nuts in my smoothie. Adding this to my recipe collection, since we are fairly new to drinking smoothies.

    Smoothies for breakfast are such a lifesaver. I’m going to try to add some nuts to mine smoothies as well. Great recipe.

    Breakfast is tough. We’ve got a house full of not-morning people. This smoothie is definitely worth getting out of bed for!

    This is sooooo delicious. I used a frozen banana (always have them on hand for smoothies or natural banana “ice cream”) and almond milk. It’s like a chocoate banana milkshake; you never miss the dairy and it’s rich and thick. — Thank you!
