Drew’s Birthday Blueberry Smoothie

I can hardly believe it, but our son Drew is having another birthday. Many of you have met Drew and know he is not shy nor one to be left out. He is a go getter. He is persistent. When his sister’s started coming up with their own recipes for foods to be mixed in with yogurt he had to create his own version. Below is the recipe he came up with.

Now to all who are thinking what can an eight, now nine, year old boy make on his own that others will actually eat?  This is it! Really we’ve had this.

Drew’s Birthday Blueberry Smoothie

• 1 apple, cored
• ½ cup of frozen blueberries
• 1 cup of plain yogurt
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (you can adjust this to taste)
• 1 scoop UMP Vanilla
• 5 ice cubes
• ½ cup water

Mix all the ingredients in a blender. Pour into a glass and enjoy.

Now I mentioned that Drew is persistent and a go-getter. That is important. He never gives up on an idea. Right now as a parent that is tough to listen to but I don’t want to stop his drive. He is determined.

As adults we need to have more Drews in our life. People who don’t take no for an answer. People who push to be heard. Those who take an idea and make it work. This can go far in our lives.

I see great things for Drew because of his attitude.

What if we took just one idea and see it to the end? Take one day and make it a great day for health. Take one hour and make your meal plans. Take one evening and finish that book you started over a month ago. Your New Year’s Resolutions, how are they progressing? Take time, be persistent, go after your dreams to Make It Happen.

Enjoy your shake,
