Healthy Breakfast Smoothies

Food in AM

Not sure about you, but I’m the type of person who NEEDS something to eat first thing in the morning. Ever heard of hangry (a.k.a when someone gets angry because they’re super hungry)? Yep, it’s a real thing. Just ask my relatives. It isn’t pretty. With that said, I don’t like spending tons of time prepping things for their sake or mine. I likes recipes that are easy to make first thing in the morning to get my metabolism going. Healthy breakfast smoothies are perfect for this!

The following healthy breakfast smoothies do the trick. They don’t take much time to make and are healthy. Thank to Jeaninne Donofrio @LoveandLemons for providing these. Prep fruits and veggies ahead of time to make blending these healthy breakfast smoothies a breeze on busy mornings. Below are the ingredients and instructions for how to make five different smoothies. Give them a try and let us know which one is your favorite!

• Strawberry Goji
• Peach
• Mango Maca
• Spinach & Mango
• Cherry Blueberry Cacao 

INGREDIENTS

Strawberry Goji:

• big handful of strawberries, sliced
• ¼ cup dried goji berries
• ½ banana
• ½ – ¾ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• a few pieces of ice

Peach:

• 1 peach, sliced
• handful of raspberries
• ½ tablespoon almond butter
• ½ banana
• ½ – ¾ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• a few pieces of ice

Mango Maca:

• slices from ½ of a large mango
• 1 peach, sliced
• 1 teaspoon maca powder
• ½ banana
• ½ – ¾ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• a few pieces of ice

Spinach & Mango

• slices from ½ of a large mango
• handful of fresh spinach
• 1-2 teaspoons matcha
• ½ banana
• ½ – ¾ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• a few pieces of ice

Cherry Blueberry Cacao:

• ⅓ cup tart cherries
• ⅓ cup blueberries
• ½ – 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
• ½ banana
• ½ – ¾ cup unsweetened original almond milk
• a few pieces of ice

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Assemble ½ banana into each freezer container (or freezer safe baggie). Add fruits/vegetables, then place your containers into the freezer until you’re ready to blend each one.
2. Blend each smoothie with a few pieces of ice and ½ cup to ¾ cup almond milk (enough almond milk to get your blender blade moving).
3. Blend in “extras” (goji berries, almond butter, maca, matcha, cacao) at the end.

NOTES: I use a Vitamix. If your blender isn’t as powerful, let your frozen smoothie ingredients thaw at room temperature for just a few minutes.
