Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I mean it should be. I mean we need to make it an important meal. And by important I mean eating a healthy breakfast. Since mornings are usually busy for us especially on weekdays (and I suspect for most families too), of late I am trying to incorporate fruits wherever possible. A mixed fruit smoothie is something I make most mornings now using a mix of fresh and frozen fruits. It hardly takes more than 10 minutes including clean up of the blender. Btw, I love my new smoothie blender – Ninja Master Prep it was one of the cheapest ones that I found on amazon but I am so glad I got it. I chose it mainly because it seemed easy and light to handle. And that is a very important thing for me now because of my arthritis.
Last weekend while making french toast, I was going to make a smoothie as usual to accompany it when I suddenly thought of something. Why not add the fruits into the French toast? So I decided to make a French toast sandwich with a blueberry jelly in the middle. I rustled up a quick blueberry jelly using frozen blueberries. The kids just loved this blueberry French toast sandwich! I am guessing this one is going to be a keeper now and I am already thinking of all other variations that I can do here!
Linking to Throwback Thursday and Fiesta Friday this week. This week Margy @ La Petite Casserole and Linda @ La Petite Paniere are co-hosting Fiesta Friday.
What a great idea, thats looks so good! I’ve never thought about making a French toast sandwich before!

thank you Tania! yeah it was quite easy and the kids really loved it!
I bet the kids do love this! And you’re right that a lot of the old glass blenders are so heavy (and have parts that get stuck and are hard to unscrew) I just got one of the ninjas and so far I’m liking it a lot! Plus it just looks really important on my counter, lol!
Thanks for sharing with us at Throwback Thursday!
Mollie
Mollie, the one I got has the name NinjaPrep and I don’t think to belongs to the Ninja brand because it was dirt cheap – i paid something like $30 for it! But I absolutely love it! I am sure your Ninja one is also very good!
Mine was a little more, but you know me, I’m a little cheap and I’m wondering if I overpaid, lol!!!! $79.00….My sister though has one of those top of the line Vitamix blenders – I’m like OMG!!!! It’s mind boggling! For that price it should drive you to the store, carry in your food and then mix it for you!
lol! I absolutely agree Mollie. I am like you – very cheap 🙂 Why pay a ridiculous price when you can get the same work done with a cheaper one! 🙂
I wish I could have this tomorrow morning for breakfast! Thanks a lot for being at FF this week!
ha ha Margarita, what’s stopping you? I am sure you will come up with an even more sophisticated version 🙂
You are right… forget about being on diet (or pretend to be..) and cook all day long!
Mmm…look at all the blueberries bursting from the center. You definitely succeeded in your plan to incorporate more fruits, Indu!
yeah I sure am the sneaky mom. But in this case my efforts were well-appreciated by the kids! I have already made it twice in the past 7 days! 🙂
Sounds so good. Thanks for sharing with us at Throwback Thursday. Pinned and shared! Can’t wait to see what you bring to the party this week.
