The Best Breakfast Smoothie

Mornings are rough around here. I’ve always been in awe of people who wake up early and are ready to seize the day. That is just not me and never will be, I am night person through and through. Oh, how I miss the days of sleeping past noon but this whole adulting thing kind of ruined that. So to get going in the mornings, besides coffee, I need a filling breakfast. Waking up hungry and going to work hungry is no fun. I have a few go-to easy breakfasts I like to put together before I run out the door and smoothies are one of them. No matter how many smoothie recipes I put together, I always go back to the same one. It’s my best breakfast smoothie ever!

Mixed Berry Oat Smoothie

My easy go to Mixed Berry Oat Smoothie
Prep Time 5 mins
Servings 1 smoothie

Ingredients
  

  • 1 handfull frozen spinach
  • 1/2 frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 2 tbsps organic powdered peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp organic rolled oats
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 scoop protein powder of choce
  • 1 1/2 cup non-dairy milk of choice

Instructions
 

  • Blend the spinach with a splash of the almond milk first. It helps to break down the spinach, so there are no chunks. I promise you won’t taste the spinach at all!
  • Toss in everything else and blend up well.
  • Pour into a cute cup, glass or mug and drink up!

Notes

You can find some of my favorites here - Nutiva Organic Plant Protein,  PB Fit Organic Powdered Peanut Butter

I use all frozen fruits & spinach because it keeps the smoothie nice and cold. Ice doesn’t need to be added, so there is no watering down of the smoothie. The powdered peanut butter, rolled oats, & chia seeds help keep me full until lunch time. I like adding Shakeology to my smoothies for all the added vitamins and nutrients, and the vanilla flavor isn’t too strong and overpowering. You can always replace with your favorite protein or meal replacement powder.

      Sometimes I buy my fruits fresh, chop them up & then freeze them in little ziplock bags!

    Just had a smoothie this morning with banana, apple, grapefruit and some oats. It was not so bright as yours, but still healthy and yummy.

  20. This looks so delicious. I wouldn’t have thought to put Shakeology in it but that’s a great way to get extra protein.

  29. I should really be better about doing things lie this for breakfast, but the thought of doing anything before coffee and another cup as well pretty much makes me want to go back to bed! haha. I may try this as a snack though!

    I want to make this! I don’t use Shakeology however. I’m thinking I could just substitute my normal protein powder and some erythritol, however, right? This looks really good and I have all the ingredients.

  36. I love shakeology! This looks like a really good smoothie, and i also eye roll at my husbands urge to start the day.

  43. I did not know that they made powdered peanut butter. That is interesting. I have to try that sometimes because there were many times I tried scooping regular peanut butter into the mix before blending. The powered seems better; definitely cleaner. LOL!
