Breakfast smoothies

jmanthei98

I have about 8 pounds left to shed, and it's just refusing to come off. I exercise on a regular basis (about a week and a half away from finishing Insanity), so I'm pretty sure it's my nutrition that's holding me back. Lunch and dinner I do alright with (most of the time), but my breakfasts need an overhaul, so I was looking for smoothie recipes. What are your favorites? Protein powder or no protein powder, I want to hear them! :-)

I go with

1 banana
1/4 cup skim milk
3 tbl spn natural yoghurt
1 tsp LSA (linseed, sunflower seed, almond blend)
3 tbl spn rolled oats

Blend..

Also bluberries, the milk and the yoghurt and ice

I just use unsweeteed vanilla almond milk, a frozen banana and a few ice cubes in a blender every morning. Sometimes I will throw in other frozen fruit, (raspberries, mango) if I have them. Also, if I am not eating carbs at lunch I will add a half cup of oatmeal to the blender. It is yummy!

One of my breakfast staples:

2 cups unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or 1 cup milk, 1 cup water)
1 frozen banana
3/4 cup frozen blueberries
1 scoop Tropical Dreamsicle Protein Powder

A little calorie dense, but it makes a HUGE smoothie and it is delicious!!

Here is a link to mine in another thread I posted:

Keep in mind a couple things:

-It is calorie dense, as I have a higher goal and much more weight to lose.

-Filling as all hell, since I sometimes may not get to eat lunch.

-Recipe is very flexible, I usually use whey instead of hemp powder, if I used both it would be much higher in calories.

Otherwise this is very filling, super nutricious and can be split up between breakfast and lunch if desired.

For those of you who like a bit of sour taste try looking in the ethnic Spanish foods (frozen section) for Goya (there are other brands) Maracuya Parcha Pulp , it is Passion fruit, however, I find the best frozen pulp in the Spanish section.

I'd love to try Shakeology, but I can't afford it. :-(

I just started using this recipe as my go to morning smoothie:

1 c spinach
1/2 c frozen blueberries
1 banana
1-1.5 c light vanilla soy milk
1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
ice

It's really tasty and only clocks in around 320 cals or so.
