Let’s be honest. I love a healthy smoothie anytime of day, but this is one one my favorites because it’s a quick and easy breakfast. You can change up the ingredients and adjust it to your liking, and it keeps you full for hours!
Over the last few years I have been experimenting with different smoothie recipes and this one has become my favorite! Because we have all have busy lives, I love that I can throw this together quickly and put it in a reusable to-go cup.
My favorite part of this recipe is that you can add spinach or kale and you wouldn’t even know, so it’s a great way to get some more veggies in. Other great ingredients to make your healthy smoothie even better are listed below and also don’t affect the sweet, fruity flavor! It can also be pretty difficult to get veggies into your kids diet so give this recipe a try with your kiddos.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, frozen or fresh
- 1 cup frozen or fresh blueberries
- 1 cube frozen spinach or kale (or 1 cup of fresh spinach/kale packed down)
- 1 cup almond milk or oat milk (use what you like/have)
- 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, I use the greek 25% less sugar one but use what you like
- 1/3 cup 100% peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
Directions
- Put everything in your blender and blend for a minute or two until smooth. If needed, add a little more almond/oat milk for easier blending. Pour onto a tall glass with a reusable straw and enjoy!
Tips: Add pure maple syrup if you need a little sweetness. I usually only add this if I have plain greek yogurt.
