Best Breakfast Smoothie!

We have officially dubbed this recipe as the BEST breakfast smoothie because the flavor combination is 👌🏻 You need banana, strawberry, peanut butter, oats, almond milk, and protein powder.

Not only do you get your protein, a serving of fruit, and healthy fats, but this smoothie recipe tastes like dessert. I make this smoothie weekly (especially after a hard workout), and I’m here to tell you it’s truly the best.

Why make breakfast smoothies?

Best flavor combo: The combination of strawberries and bananas + protein powder + oatmeal + peanut butter is just the perfect mix to kick-start your day.

Healthy breakfast idea: this healthy breakfast is high protein, made with real fruit, and packed with healthy fats.

High protein: 12g protein/serving. Yes, please!

Smoothie Preparation Tips

We love having smoothie recipe ingredients on hand so that whenever the smoothie mood strikes, we’re ready.

  • Cut fruit up ahead of time: One of the easiest ways to prep for this ahead of time is to cut up your favorite fruit to use in healthy smoothies and get it in the freezer. If you haven’t checked out our posts on how to freeze bananas and berries, do it now!
  • Protein: Keep protein powder or collagen powder on hand at all times.
  • Frozen veggies are key: if you’re trying to get more veggies, try keeping frozen spinach or cauliflower in your freezer.

Breakfast Smoothies Tips

Cut up and freeze fruit in Stasher Bags, meal prep containers or Ziplocs so you have it on hand when you want to make a smoothie

Choose a protein powder with a clean label. We’ve done the legwork for you and tested the most popular on the market. HERE are some of our faves.

Rolled oats are a great way to add nutrients, whole grains, and a little thickness to your smoothie

Healthy fats are another great addition to smoothies. A little peanut butter goes a long way!

Invest in a high-quality blender (we LOVE our Vitamix) so you don’t have to worry about getting any chunks in your smoothie!

We really mean it, get your sweet self a quality blender — it’s seriously one of the best kitchen investments we’ve made.

We have a Vitamix, and love it because it acts as a blender, food processor and mixer all in one, basically getting the exact texture we’re looking for every. single. time.

How much flaxseed do you use?

This recipe does not call for flax, but if you’d like to add ground flax seed meal, I’d recommend about 1/2 tablespoon!

This smoothie was amazing! I used Tone It Up protein powder in the peanut butter flavor and topped it with Purely Elizabeth granola (chocolate sea salt + peanut butter nut butter flavor). It was so delicious! I would pay money to eat this at a cafe. I bet it would taste yummy with some fresh fruit on top in the summer, though it doesn’t even need it.

I’m new to the smoothie world. for 2019 I’m going to try to do better with my eating. So I figure I begin with eating breakfast instead of two cups of coffee. Anyway, do this smoothie make a lot? If it’s more than one serving, can I leave it in the fridge for day 2?

What are you recommendations for smoothies?

Hello! You can keep it in the fridge if you want, but I wouldn’t recommend it! Smoothies made fresh are the best πŸ™‚

You’re totally right about adding in frozen fruit with protein powder and a little peanut butter! Peanut butter or peanut powder has the most FANTASTIC nutty and comforting element. I’m obsessed with combining it with frozen blueberries, spinach, almond milk, cinnamon, Stevia, and protein powder!
