Lactose-Free Smoothie Recipe
To make this Cereal Milk Breakfast Smoothie fun for everyone, even the lactose intolerant, I was sure to use my fave milk, LACTAID ® ! LACTAID ® is real milk, just without the lactose. No one should have to suffer from #DairyEnvy. There is absolutely no flavor difference…just delicious milk that is super easy to digest. It’s the perfect milk for every family, and it is especially perfect in this Breakfast Cereal Smoothie!

Choose any cereal you want to make any flavor, plus you can add in other ingredients (like strawberries, peanut butter, honey, chocolate, and more) to customize it even more.
And while I used Lactose-free milk to make this recipe for everyone, you can use any type of milk you prefer: cow’s milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc.
Once you’ve chose your preferred cereal milk smoothie flavor, just combine all of your ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. It turns into a creamy, sweet, tasty breakfast smoothie you can drink at home or on the go!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
This is the perfect grocery list filled with all the basics and essentials. It should help get you going if you’re new to cooking, or if you’re just left staring helplessly at an empty pantry and don’t know how to fill it.
When I first started cooking, things could seem overwhelming. I quickly realized that they more prepared I could be, the more confident I felt. If you already have the basics in your kitchen, then you can shop stress-free.
So print out our easy grocery list, stock up your pantry and fridge, and you’ll be cooking in no time!
