Simple Ingredients to Make a Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

Looking for the best breakfast smoothie recipe? Check out this recipe with tons of variety to make a tasty smoothie for you or a family member.

Breakfast smoothies are a great way to make a quick and healthy meal to start your day off right. The fun part is that it is so easy to make a variety of smoothies. That way you don’t get bored eating the same thing.

Smoothies don’t have to taste bad, but they also don’t need to contain unhealthy ingredients either. The green smoothie recipes are often a bit hard to swallow, but there’s no need to sacrifice health for taste with the easy smoothie recipes I will list here.

Here’s how to make a healthy breakfast smoothie with simple ingredients that are easy to keep on hand. Take advantage of fresh when you can get it, but use your freezer when fresh isn’t in season.

Basic Components of My Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipe:

Greens (1 cup) – lettuce (spinach, romaine, kale, etc)

Fruit (1 1/2 cups) – apple, banana, berries, grapes, lemon, lime, avocado, melon, mango, orange, peach, pear, pineapple, etc)

Liquid (1 cup) – almond, coconut, rice or cashew milk (unsweetened), tea, filtered water, ice, etc

All you need is a good smoothie blender like a Nutribullet (or Vitamix if you can afford it) and you’re all set. Just add all the ingredients you choose into your blender, blend, and drink up.

Extra Protein Some people like to add a scoop or two of a good protein powder at this point. That adds good protein to your smoothie so feel free to do that.

Use Your freezer to save money on your healthy breakfast smoothie ingredients

When you see fruits or vegetables on sale, purchase them and pop them in your freezer for future use. Bananas, berries, melons, peaches, pineapples, spinach, kale, and many other ingredients can be sliced or chopped and put into freezer bags.

Variety helps you stick with this program. Since there are so many ingredients you can use to make a healthy breakfast smoothie, you can have a different taste every day. You don’t have to think too hard if you just stick with the basic recipe structure.

Make a Healthy Breakfast Smoothie for Weight Loss

Many people drink smoothies so they can feel filled up and not have to think about eating “diet” food. As a result, you get a quick and healthy breakfast. Then you can drink 2 of these a day for even greater meal replacement results.

When you drink 2 a day, you can accelerate your weight loss goals but not feel deprived. You can do it for a set period of time (like 2 weeks) and then go back to drinking just 1 a day.

If this all sounds too complicated, then weight loss coffee might be a better option for you. Or you can drink it in addition to this program and get even better results.
