Healthy Breakfast Smoothie

I decided to make a instructional video about my most favorite healthy breakfast smoothie recipe. I have this smoothie about once a week and would do it more if I had the time every morning. This smoothie can be had anytime as a meal replacement so don’t let the breakfast title fool you. They whey powder makes this a tasty protein smoothie as well. The smoothie recipe is below the movie.

Ingredients:

1 cup of frozen berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and/or strawberries)
1 scoop of whey powder
1 Tbs. flaxseed oil
1Tbs. ground flaxseed
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. unsweetened cranberry juice
1 pack of Stevia
8 ice cubes
1 cup water

Blend until smooth and if needed you can add a few ice cubes to thiken it up. Make a little over sixteen ounces, so it will a good size to go cup and you can take a quick shot of the extra before you head out the door.

Fruit Spice Smoothie Recipe

October 21, 2007 · Filed Under Non-Dairy Smoothies, Peach Smoothies · Comment

A spice smoothie is great during the fall and autumn months. Give this smoothie a try on a brisk fall day or evening.

FRUIT SPICE SMOOTHIE

1 frozen banana (best if cut into 1-inch chunks, then frozen)
1/2 – 1 cup hulled strawberries (don’t need to cut them up)
1/4 – 1/2 cup soy milk, orange juice, or water cinnamon to taste

Add all of the ingredients in a blender. I start with 1/4 cup of liquid and add more depending on how thick I want the smoothie. Blend in spurts until smooth.

Variations:

Use peaches, blueberries, apple slices, or more bananas in place of strawberries (or combine them!) May need to vary the liquid depending on the juiciness of the fruit.
Use fresh bananas and 1-2 ice cubes
In addition to the cinnamon, add one or more of: nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla
