  • 1 medium banana cut into chunks and frozen or 1 (5-ounce) container plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
  • 1.5 cups frozen fruits (strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, mango, etc.)
  • to taste Maple syrup or honey
  • 1 handful spinach or kale
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds, flax seeds, or hemp hearts
  • 1 tablespoon old-fashioned or quick oats
  • 1 scoop vanilla or unflavored protein powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • High-speed blender
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Serving glasses

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. If you’re using fresh fruits, wash and chop them as needed. For frozen fruits, no prep is necessary—just grab them from the freezer!
  2. In your high-speed blender, combine the unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice), frozen banana (or Greek yogurt), frozen fruits, spinach (or kale), nut butter, chia seeds (or flax seeds/hemp hearts), oats, protein powder, and ground cinnamon.
  3. Blend on high until all ingredients are well combined and you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more almond milk until you reach your desired texture.
  4. Taste your smoothie and adjust sweetness as needed by adding maple syrup or honey. Blend again briefly to mix.
  5. Pour your Healthy Breakfast Smoothie into glasses and garnish with fresh fruit, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a dash of ground cinnamon. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture!

Notes

  • Freeze smoothie ingredients in individual bags for quick prep.
  • Use seasonal fruits for a fresh twist!
  • Skip the protein powder or replace it with Greek yogurt for protein.
