Breakfast Smoothie (Ready in 5 Minutes!)

Smoothies are easy, just blend and enjoy, right? Not quite.

Throw the wrong ingredient in the mix and you have a bitter or mismatched smoothie—yuck!

Our breakfast smoothie recipe blends together delicious and well-paired fruit with vanilla protein powder so you can start your day with a good taste in your mouth.

If you’re looking for more ways to add protein to your mornings but are sick of eating eggs, adding protein powder (like Garden of Life)  into your smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt is a great alternative.

Is it good to have a smoothie for breakfast?

Having a smoothie for breakfast is a great way to get fiber, vitamins, and protein quickly and on the go. 

A smoothie made without a protein source (like protein powder, greek yogurt, seeds, or nut butters) may leave you feeling pretty hungry shortly after consuming. 

We recommend adding a source of protein to your smoothie if this is serving as your breakfast meal.

What can I add to a morning smoothie?

The options are endless when it comes to healthy breakfast smoothies! 

Some great ways to add more nutritional value, like healthy fats, and flavor include:

• Nut butters
• Cinnamon
• Chia seeds
• Hemp seeds
• Flax seeds
• Rolled oats
• Bananas
• Frozen fruits
• Vegetables: spinach and celery for a green smoothie

Smoothies are very versatile and can easily be made plant-based by using water or dairy-free milks.

Notes

We highly recommend you stick to frozen strawberries but you can substitute them for any type of berries you’d like, a mix of berries would be delicious, too!

If your smoothie is too thick, you can add more almond milk.

If it is too thin, you can add ice or more strawberries and blend again.
