Breakfast smoothie recipes

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you are always grabbing a cup of coffee before work, consider mixing a breakfast smoothie instead. Drinking a smoothie will keep you full for longer, and you can incorporate whatever flavors you want. If you have limited time in the morning, feel free to make any of these smoothies the night before. Store your smoothie in an airtight container for an easy grab-and-go meal. 

Chocolate peanut butter

Try this chocolate peanut butter smoothie without feeling guilty. This smoothie has a hidden serving of spinach mixed in, but nobody will be able to tell if you bring it to the office. You will need 1 cup of coconut milk, 1 scoop of chocolate protein powder, ½ cup of blueberries, 1 cup of fresh spinach, 1 banana, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter. Blend it well and enjoy this creamy, chocolaty smoothie any day of the week.

Strawberry oatmeal

If you like oatmeal, try this yummy strawberry smoothie. It has 1 cup of frozen strawberries, ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of oatmeal, 1 tablespoon of almond butter, 2 teaspoons of honey, and a touch of almond milk to thin it down. The Greek yogurt will help you stay full until your lunch break.

Green machine

This smoothie is full of unpeeled apples and spinach, which can help cleanse your system. Blend 1 cup of almond milk, 2 large handfuls of spinach, 1 medium avocado (pit and skin removed), 2 medium apples roughly diced, 2 teaspoons of maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of ground ginger, ½ tablespoon of chia seeds, and a handful of ice. This recipe is enough to make 2 smoothies and results in a light green color.

Cranberry and orange

If you’re looking for something citrus-flavored, try out this recipe. It has 1 cup of almond milk, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, ⅔ cup of frozen cranberries, 2 oranges (peeled, seeded, and segmented), and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. This refreshing smoothie has 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber per serving. 

Cherry delight

This next smoothie uses protein powder in it to help you stay full. You will need 1 ½ cups of frozen cherries, 1 cup of almond milk, 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder, 1 banana, and ice. Combine them in a blender and top it with some almond butter and coconut flakes for some extra flavor. 

Blackberry cinnamon

We recommend not wearing a white or light-colored top while making or drinking this smoothie. Blackberries are notorious for leaving stains on clothes, but they do taste delicious. Mix 1 cup of frozen blackberries, 1 small diced apple (with the peel), 1 cup of vanilla almond milk, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 2 dried dates (pitted), 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract in a blender until smooth. 

Carrot and pineapple

This next recipe is pretty unique and uses a chopped carrot to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. Blend ¾ cup of freshly cut pineapple, ½ cup of ice, ⅓ cup of fresh orange juice, ¼ cup of chopped carrot, and ½ banana until smooth and frothy. Mix it with some coconut milk for a more creamy consistency.

Pink pomegranate

Last but not least, this smoothie has a bright pink color and is packed full of nutrients. You will need 1 cup of pomegranate juice, ½ cup of Greek yogurt, 2 small cooked beets, 2 small or medium-sized pink grapefruits (peeled, seeded, and segmented), 2 tablespoons of honey, and 1 cup of crushed ice. This bright smoothie makes it easy to eat grapefruits without having its juices all over the place.

We hope you will enjoy some of these breakfast smoothies. Feel free to experiment with flavors to come up with your own recipes. There are endless flavor combinations out there to try!
