How to Make a Fruit Smoothie

Fruit smoothies make a great breakfast, snack or side. A few simple ingredients and a blender are all you need to make one at home.

A note about protein. It is best to start the day with a healthy protein. I usually have 2 organic eggs along with a breakfast smoothie. People generally underestimate how much protein they really need to maintain their energy and well being.

Our Favorite (Healthy!) Breakfast Smoothie Recipes:

These are nutritious and quick with a good serving of protein as well. If you tend to skip breakfast because you are busy (ahem...a big no-no!) then you will love how easy these recipes are.

Almond Boost

1-2 cups rice or almond mild - make sure they are non-GMO and organic.

1/2 banana

1-2 Tbs almond butter (raw or roasted)

1-2 scoops of good quality whey protein powder (this is optional, you also get protein from the almond butter)

dash of cinnamon

1 tsp raw honey (optional, there is plenty of flavor from the other ingredients)

Place all ingredients together in a blender, adding the protein powder last so it does not stick to the sides. Blend until smooth. Serves 1-2.

Oatmeal Breakfast in a Glass

1-2 cups rice or almond mild, make sure they are non-GMO and organic

1/2 banana

1/2 cup cooked oatmeal

Rolled oats are most healthy. Precook some oats and refrigerate them in advance for your breakfast smoothies. Oats should be soaked overnight with 1 Tbsp plain yogurt. The acid in the yogurt helps to break down the outer layer of the oat before cooking to ensure your body gets maximum nutritional benefits.

1-2 scoops of good quality whey protein powder (optional)

1tsp raw honey or maple syrup dash of cinnamon

adding a few strawberries or blueberries is also delicious!

Place all ingredients together in a blender, adding the protein powder last so it does not stick to the sides. Blend until smooth. Serves 1-2.

You said you don't need a recipe. Here I am trying to figure out why I ended up with a solid lump of much instead of a smoothie.
