Nutritious Breakfast Smoothies
Many say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I agree. It provides us with vitaimins and minerals and gives us energy for the morning. I notice many people strugle with eating in the mornig that's why here are my 3 breakfast smoothie recipes that are easy and quick to make and you need just a few ingredients.
These recipes are packed with protein, essential vitamins, and minerals, plus they will keep you full until lunch while helping support your weight loss and health goals!
1. Green Smoothie
My green smoothie is packed with vitamins and minerals that will boost your energy in the mornig. I like adding spinach to my smoothies because it has light taste. Spinach is a nutritional power food. It’s low in calories but high in vitamins (K, A, C, B6), nutrients and filling fiber — making it a superfood. This smoothie provides you with healthy fats, proteins and carbs. Here is what you need for 2 servings:
- 8 oz frozen fruits VITAMINS & MINERALS
- big handful spinach VITAMINS & MINERALS
- 1 cup milk (I used soy milk) PROTEIN / FAT
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder PROTEIN
- 1 tbsp nut butter PROTEIN / FAT
Put all ingredients into a food processor, blend it very well and enjoy your breakfast!
