Most people skip breakfast and that’s a huge mistake. Not only do you need breakfast to help recover from your lack of food during the night but you also need to get incoming nutrients in your body to help your hormones. So while I understand that people are busy and you may not have the time to make a healthy breakfast and sit down, you do have a few minutes to make some great, healthy smoothies. Here’s a bunch of recipes.
1 chopped frozen banana
1/2 c. plain yogurt
1/2 c. milk of choice
4 chopped dates (rehydrated, if necessary to make them soft)
1 tbsp. nut butter
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup 2 percent milk
1 medium banana
2 tablespoons wheat germs
2 tablespoons protein powder
1 banana
6 strawberries
1 kiwi
1/2 cup vanilla frozen yogurt
3/4 cup pineapple and orange juice blend
– 1 banana, cut in chunks
– 1 cup grapes
– 1 (6 ounce) tub vanilla yogurt
– 1/2 apple, cored and chopped
– 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach leaves
– 1 banana
– 1 1/4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
– 10 whole almonds
– 2 tablespoons water
– 1 cup ice cubes
– 3 tablespoons chocolate flavored protein powder
– 1 1/2 cups vanilla yogurt
– 2 bananas, cut up
– 1/2 cup frozen strawberries
– 2 tablespoons wheat germ
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 banana
– 1/8 cup peanut butter
– 1/2 cup soy milk
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 banana, cut in chunks
– 1 cup grapes
– 1 (6 ounce) tub vanilla yogurt
– 1/2 apple, cored and chopped
– 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach leaves
– 1 cup nonfat yogurt
– 1 cup nonfat milk
– 1 cup (packed) pitted Medjool dates (about 9 ounces)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups ice cubes
So those are a few fantastic breakfast smoothies. Want to make your own? It’s simple really, you have to have whey protein and non-fat yogurt as your base or else the fruits won’t do anything to fill you up or provide any type of a meal. So make sure that you pick a few different fruits that taste well alone, if they don’t taste good on their own then they aren’t going to taste good in a smoothie. You can use water or non-fat milk, either will do the job for a high protein breakfast smoothie.
