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.

I thought the combination of peanut butter and strawberries would be weird but it is super good.
So glad you loved it!
Hello, I noticed that you did not include the flax seeds in the recipe. How much should I put in the smoothie? Also, how many ounces is considered one serving?
I usually make a 10-ounce serving and enjoy it. After making the best smoothie for breakfast, you can have fun at Australian online casinos https://casinologin.mobi/au/ which is no less rewarding if you do it responsibly. You can trust this.
Currently sitting by my pool studying and drinking this amazingly fresh smoothie! It is the perfect amount to fill my yeti up. I prepped and put the frozen contents in a bag earlier this week which made this recipe even easier. Next time I will do a thin layer of p-nut butter and oats between the smoothie pour because I love the flavor and texture so much. Thanks for the great recipe, it’s a keeper for me! 🙂
Oh wow now I’m just jealous 😛
Excellent smoothie! I used almond butter instead of peanut butter and I used KOS vanilla vegan protein powder. Would definitely make again!
Thank you for this recipe! It was so delicious!! I will definitely make again.
Hi, lovely recipe, just wondered why you used strawberries instead of the likes of black or blueberries?
Can I use chocolate protein powder instead? 😉
Yes, of course!
Awesome recipe! Everything with frozen banana is just so creamy 🙂 I usually leave out the protein powder, but it is still delicious.
Yes! This is literally my exact breakfast every morning for the last year. It’s so satisfying and delicious. I use a handful of spinach and almond butter instead of peanut butter 🙂 I get so much inspiration from your blog, thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to trying this recipe but have one question. The ingredients call for 2 tbsp of rolled oatmeal. Is this intended to be 2 tbsp of rolled oats (dry) or should I make oatmeal (perhaps overnight oats with the cup of milk) and us that?
Dry oatmeal! Throw it right in there!
