Brown Rice Grits and Apple Pie Smoothie(Monday Breakfast)

This morning for breakfast I made Brown Rice Grits and an Apple Pie Smoothie! The kids loved IT!!! The only thing they didn't like was too much nutmeg and allspice. We didn't have any Apple Pie spice so I just used cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice but I got a little too much allspice and nutmeg. But they drank it all so I guess it was ok.
