Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

Ready for a sweet treat that’s also packed full of nutritional value? Breakfast Smoothies are so easy to make and prep ahead of time.

Not only do they taste great, but they’re also full of protein and fiber so you’ll stay full for longer and have the energy you need to get through the morning.

What Do You Put in a Breakfast Smoothie?

You can use various ingredients according to your taste preferences or whatever you happen to have on hand.

• Fruits – Adding ice will dilute your smoothies, so use frozen fruit to make them thick and creamy.
• Vegetables – Spinach, kale, avocado, and carrots will be your nutrient powerhouse!
• Liquid – Almond milk, coconut water, or juice that is low in sugar will be the ingredient you add to help everything blend well.
• Healthy Fats – 1 tablespoon of your favorite nut butter, coconut milk, or chia seeds will make your smoothie more satisfying so you’re not hungry again right away.
• Seeds + Nuts – Flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, etc. will add fiber to your smoothies.
• Protein + Fiber – Greek yogurt, oatmeal or your favorite protein powder are easy ways to make breakfast protein smoothies. You can add raw oats to your blender and blend until smooth.
• Flavor Additions – A few drops of vanilla, a pinch of cinnamon, a spoonful of honey or maple syrup can boost the flavor of a smoothie if you need it!

Make Ahead Smoothies

The best part about making breakfast smoothies is that you can do all the prep work ahead of time by making smoothie packets that sit in the freezer until you are ready to use them!

I’ll spend 30 minutes one afternoon prepping the ingredients and I’ll have an entire month’s worth of meals ready to grab and toss in the blender.

Breakfast just got so much easier folks- let me show you how:

YOU WILL NEED –

• 1 tbsp nuts – I like unsalted sunflower seeds or raw almonds
• 1 tbsp Chia seeds
• 1/2 cup oatmeal
• 1 heaping cup of frozen fruit -use a variety so you aren’t drinking the same flavor all month!
• 1 handful of fresh spinach or kale
• 1 cup of yogurt (I use Greek vanilla)
• 1/2- 1 cup of juice or almond milk
• protein powder, optional

PACKET PREPARATION –

1. Clear off a big space on your counter and get ready for an assembly line!
2. Grab a bunch of ziploc sandwich baggies and line them up in rows on the counter. Open them up just enough so that it is convenient for you to add the ingredients to each bag.
3. Add the first 5 ingredients to each baggie, then zip close while making sure extra air doesn’t get inside.
4. Place in the freezer for a few hours until everything is completely frozen.
5. Grab a few gallon-size ziplock bags and place the individual smoothie packets inside to help as an extra barrier from freezer burn. This step isn’t necessary if you are only making enough packets for the week.

How To Make Breakfast Smoothies

SMOOTHIE DIRECTIONS:

1. Grab a smoothie packet from the freezer and empty the ingredients into your blender.
2. Add 1 cup of yogurt to the blender and 1/2 cup of juice. (The amount of juice will depend on how thick you want your smoothie to be. Add more as you blend it if you need to.)
3. Add protein powder, if you prefer.
4. Mix well until you get your desired consistency.
5. Pour into two cups, grab a couple of straws and enjoy!

These smoothies are so easy and so convenient and they are such a great way to get your vitamins, minerals, and fiber! Here is the printable recipe card for your convenience –
