Start your day off right with this healthy breakfast smoothie. Packed with loads of fiber, healthy fats, and collagen, this delicious berry smoothy will give you all the nutrients and energy you need to take on the day.
What better way is there to finish up a morning workout than with a healthy, filling breakfast smoothie? This is exactly how I’ve been enjoying my mornings the last couple weeks. Being stuck at home almost constantly, I’ve been doing my HIIT trainings from the comfort of my living room…which is admittedly a bit less than ideal, but hey, desperate times. This nutritious post work out smoothie is the perfect reward.
This recipe is kid-friendly as well. A great alternative to the regular sugary breakfast cereals. This delicious smoothy an easy way to get plenty of vitamins, fibers and healthy fats into their bodies, and is the perfect medium for adding whatever other supplements you want. Most of my protein comes from the nut butter I always add in, but if you have a favorite protein powder, then feel free to add it in as well! All you need is a high speed blender or even food processor.
Breakfast Smoothie Ingredients:
- Frozen Berries: You can use either fresh or frozen fruit. I love using frozen berries, they create an ice cream like consistency. You can also add frozen tropical fruits, bananas etc. Whatever your heart desires. The plus side of frozen berries I find, is that tyou get a lot more bang for your buck with them!
- Liquid: No need for dairy! There are so many incredible dairy free options that can provide healthy fats and proteins, and taste amazing. Personally, I almost always add oat milk (it’s so good!), but if you want to increase the protein, pea or hemp milks might suit you better.
- Yogurt: Add coconut yogurt to your smoothie for some additional probiotics. It will make the smoothie that much creamier.
- Collagen: personally I always add collagen in the form of a supplement. It is know to help skin, hair and joints. This is however optional.
- Seeds: Flax seeds, hemp seeds and chia seeds add healthy fats and loads of fiber into your smoothie.
- Nut Butters: Nut butters are the perfect way to sneak in some extra fats and protein. From peanut butter to almond butter or mixed nut butters, they all add great taste. This is personally my favorite ingredient.
- Toppings: I love to top off my smoothies with fresh fruit and homemade Granola. It gives extra crunch and flavor but of course that is optional.
