11 Easy & Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipes!
If you love an easy grab-and-go breakfast that’s packed full of nutrients and goodness, it’s hard to beat a smoothie! Simple to prepare, flavorsome, creamy, and super satisfying, they’re a staple in my household and I find that they’re also a really convenient way to get some extra vitamins into everyone’s diet.
In this collection of smoothie recipes, I’m sharing some of my favorite flavor combinations that I think you’ll love trying at home.
Before we jump into the recipes, here’s what you need to know to help you to create the best results every time:
- I use dairy milk, but you can easily substitute for your plant-based milk of choice if you prefer
- I use Greek yogurt as it’s easily available, and naturally high in protein. Again, you can substitute for a plant-based option
- Frozen fruit is a game changer and means you can always have smoothies on your menu, even when you don’t have time to visit the store! I especially love using frozen bananas, as they add a wonderful creaminess to your drinks
- Leftovers don’t tend to keep particularly well in the fridge, but you can freeze them! A savvy hack for cutting down on waste is to pour leftover smoothie into an ice cube tray or a freezer bag. You can then add these straight to the blender the next time you fancy a smoothie – you’ll likely need to add some extra milk or water to loosen it up a little
- Don’t forget that you can customize these recipes to add some extra goodness. I like adding chia seeds, hemp seeds, protein powders, and even rolled oats, to help me to meet my nutritional goals
- If you find that your smoothie is too thick (this can often be down to the brand of yogurt you use and how thick it is), just add some extra milk or water and blend again
