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.

    Hi, Kathy – I saw the post and want to thank you for your kind link to my site. Feel free to take a recipe and give a link back from it please. If you have any of your own concoctions I would be glad to post them with a link back to your site.

    How many calories does the breakfast smoothie have?

    I was quite disappointed to see this in the non-dairy section. Anyone who makes food or recipes should make sure they know what is in their product BEFORE claiming it is non-dairy……Going somewhere else for ideas now.

    Sorry, I didn’t realize at the time that whey was a dairy product. I will correct this and all the other whey smoothies. Sorry you won’t be returning, but thanks for taking the time to help me notice this error. I am not a health expert, obviously, but I do love smoothies.

    I’m glad you had this discussion. My mom has a medical condition where she’s not supposed to have any animal products, mainly just fruits and vegetables. I was looking up smoothie recipes for her and it was educational/beneficial to stumble upon this discussion and now know that whey is a dairy product. Thanks!

    whey is a dairy product but it can be replaced with soya whey. that is what I use. I have issues with dairy as well. The texture is a bit different and soya whey is a bit more expensive and this recipe could stay as non-dairy friendly…

  14. steve on January 9th, 2011 10:42 am

    sorry…I should have said soya protein powder…not soya whey…

    wow Im glad to have found this site…and please..to those food facists who act as if the world ended because some one made an error or omission (ie whey as dairy)…lighten up….
