Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

!±8± Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

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.

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.
