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.

    You don’t mention how much water? I assume about 1 cup?

    whey protein is a protein derived from milk, making whey a dairy product.

    I’m trying to tone up and lose 10-15 lbs. I’m 5’5″ and 140 lbs now. I exercise a little and try to watch what I eat, but some days its hard. I’m a stay at home mom and I have a daycare in my home and sometimes its hard not to snitch a cookie, etc. from the little ones. What can I do to really jumpstart a routine for myself. I have books of different exercises to do and I do them, but not everyday as I should. I need some encouragement.

    How many calories does the breakfast smoothie have?

    You should probably file this into a different category, again “whey” = dairy.
