Banana Crunch Breakfast Smoothie
Don’t want to sit down and eat your breakfast out of a bowl? This breakfast smoothie is great for those of us who are running late for work and prefer to drink our breakfast on the way to work. This smoothie for breakfast has it all: breakfast cereal, milk and fruit.
Ingredients:
- 1 banana
- 1 cup milk (I use skim or 1%)
- 2 Tbs. of honey or sugar-free honey substitute
- 1/2 cup granola
- 1/2 cup of ice
Be sure to comment how this turned out for you. It can seem weird drinking granola, but it really just gives the drink a nice texture. You also might want to try adding 1/4 or 1/2 cup of plain yogurt to add a bit of tart flavor or to help smooth it out.

Barry Zito Protein Smoothie
I was thumbing through ESPN the Magazine and found this smoothie recipe by Major League Baseball pitcher Barry Zito. He says, “I came up with this after a bit of experimentation.” Usually that is when the best smoothies are made, I think. He added, “Protein smoothies can suffice for a few of your meals, but a lot of the remade smoothies or shakes are too chalky. Stevia is a key ingredient because the raspberries can be bitter.”
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of various frozen berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 2 cups of vanilla rice milk
- 2 scoops of whey protein
- 1/2 packet of Stevia.
Simply blend all the ingredients until smooth and pour into a glass.

Blue Soymilk Smoothie
I have recently become addicted to Silk Soymilk and its creamy vanilla flavor. I read on the outside of the Silk Soymilk box a very simple smoothie recipe. I changed it a little after trying their recipe and added some more fruit. It is delicious so I wanted to share it with you in case you didn’t believe the simplicity of recipe could actually be so tasty.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup Silk Vanilla Soymilk
- 1 cup frozen blueberries (they must be frozen)
- 1/2 strawberries (fresh or frozen)
And that’s it. No sweeteners needed, it is wonderfully creamy and delicious. My wife asked for seconds. I blended it in my Bullet Blender (Magic Bullet Express 17-Piece High-Speed Blender Mixing System) and it was quick to make. I now have a new quick and favorite standby. If you have tried any other combos, please let me know.

No time for a bowl of granola cereal? Take a granola smoothie to go. Great breakfast smoothie.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 banana
- 2 Tbs honey
- 3/4 cup granola

1 serving, but it is a delicious serving. Feel free to use more or less fat in your milk as you prefer. I like a little milk fat, so I chose 1%.
