Delicious Healthy Breakfast Yogurt Smoothies - 4 ways
Smoothies can make a very healthy breakfast—it’s all about the ingredients and keeping reasonable portions. When following these parameters, it is okay to have a smoothie for breakfast every day. Super healthy breakfast smoothies are quick and easy to make, and of course, they are delicious too! When looking for a healthy breakfast smoothie, try to find one that’s low in sugar and high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats so you stay full for longer.
What Do You Put in a Breakfast Smoothie?
There are so many options for what you can put in a breakfast smoothie. Each category of ingredients provides different positive benefits. Here are a few of my favourite ideas for what you should put in your morning smoothie:
- Healthy Fats. Your favourite nut butter, coconut milk, or chia seeds. This makes the smoothie more satisfying and keeps you full between meals. Keep portions in mind; usually add about 1 tablespoon.
- Protein and Fibre Additions. Greek yogurt or your favourite protein powder are easy ways to make breakfast protein smoothies. A tablespoon of oatmeal adds fibre.
- Fruit. Breakfast fruit smoothies are always a crowd-pleasing choice. Strawberries and blueberries are my go-tos. Bananas make smoothies naturally sweet. Mango and pineapple can hide the taste of greens. Unexpected fruits like apples or watermelon can be scrumptious too.
- Vegetables. Spinach, kale, avocado, carrots, and even beets can all be added to smoothies.
- Flavour Additions. Vanilla, cinnamon, honey, maple syrup, and dates are all excellent ways to give your smoothie more flavour.
- Liquid. Unsweetened almond milk is best for smoothies. You can also use juice (be sure to do this in moderation, since juice is high in sugar but low in fibre), a different kind of milk, coconut water, or even plain water.
Greek Yogurt Smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole frozen strawberries about 10 large berries or mixed berries of choice
- 1 medium ripe banana peeled and cut in half
- ¾ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons oatmeal
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
- Water or unsweetened almond milk as needed
- Ice optional
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients but the ice in a blender: strawberries, banana, Greek yogurt, oatmeal, peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon honey.
- Blend until smooth. Depending upon the size and power of your blender, you may need to stop it and scrape down the pitcher a couple of times. If the mixture is too thick to blend, splash in a little water or almond milk, stir to move the contents of the blender around, and blend again; if it is too thin, blend in a few ice cubes. Taste and add additional honey if you would like the smoothie sweeter. Pour into a glass and enjoy!
