We drink breakfast smoothies all year around. Even if you don't have frozen fruit you can still create healthy smoothies for breakfast or any other time of day.
Breakfast smoothies are a wonderful way to start the day however I find that if they are a fruit smoothie, I am hungry within an hour, so I like to add some protein to my breakfast smoothies. With a few tweaks to a regular smoothie, you can have a healthy and hearty breakfast in minutes.
Protein Drink Powder
A note about protein. It is best to start the day with a healthy protein. I usually have 2 organic eggs along with a breakfast smoothie. People generally underestimate how much protein they really need to maintain their energy and well being.
Our Favorite (Healthy!) Breakfast Smoothie Recipes:
These are nutritious and quick with a good serving of protein as well. If you tend to skip breakfast because you are busy (ahem...a big no-no!) then you will love how easy these recipes are.
Almond Boost
1-2 cups rice or almond mild - make sure they are non-GMO and organic.
1/2 banana
1-2 Tbs almond butter (raw or roasted)
1-2 scoops of good quality whey protein powder (this is optional, you also get protein from the almond butter)
dash of cinnamon
1 tsp raw honey (optional, there is plenty of flavor from the other ingredients)
Place all ingredients together in a blender, adding the protein powder last so it does not stick to the sides. Blend until smooth. Serves 1-2.
Oatmeal Breakfast in a Glass
1-2 cups rice or almond mild, make sure they are non-GMO and organic
1/2 banana
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
Rolled oats are most healthy. Precook some oats and refrigerate them in advance for your breakfast smoothies. Oats should be soaked overnight with 1 Tbsp plain yogurt. The acid in the yogurt helps to break down the outer layer of the oat before cooking to ensure your body gets maximum nutritional benefits.
1-2 scoops of good quality whey protein powder (optional)
1tsp raw honey or maple syrup dash of cinnamon
adding a few strawberries or blueberries is also delicious!
Place all ingredients together in a blender, adding the protein powder last so it does not stick to the sides. Blend until smooth. Serves 1-2.
Cheers to your health, I hope you enjoy my favorite breakfast smoothie recipes. They are a great start to the day and will be sure to keep you full for the morning.
