The Breakfast of Champions

{Maybe not really the breakfast of champions, however Smoothies are healthy and yummy!}

During the hot summer months, I like to drink smoothies for either breakfast or lunch. Smoothies are quick, healthy, and cold.  Here are two of my favorite recipes for breakfast smoothies.

Best Breakfast Smoothie

Ingredients:

3/4 cup Greek style yogurt (I like to use the honey flavored yogurt)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 banana
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup crushed ice

Blend all ingredients in a blender until smooth.

*Note: One of my daughters who loves Greek yogurt prefers plain yogurt in smoothies.*

Nutty Raspberry Smoothie

Ingredients:

3/4 cup low-fat milk
3/4 cup frozen raspberries
1/2 banana
1 tablespoon natural almond or peanut butter (I like The Bee's Knees PB by Peanut Butter & Co.)
1 tablespoon agave nectar
Directions

Place the milk, raspberries, banana, peanut butter, and agave nectar in a blender.
Blend until smooth and frothy.

This recipe is very good with the almond butter, too.

Until next time...

  2. these sound delish. I love smoothies! I can see why she prefers regular yoghurt-the greek is a bit thick. I have to try that though.

  3. Hi Ricki...saw your link at Us and Them. These look so refreshing. I'm not a fan of greek yogurt so I'm glad you added that plain yogurt is fine. Our home grown strawberries should be out soon...can't wait to try this. Have a great week!

  4. They look delicious! I have a smoothie machine that does not get a lot of use {it's really a glorified blender}. Time to give it a work out! Thanks for the recipes!

  20. smoothies are one of my favorite breakfasts. I use 1 cup vanilla unsweetened almond milk, one banana, 1 container of flavored greek yogurt, 1 TB golden ground flaxseed, 1 TB chia seed. If I know I am going to be gone for a while I will also add the 1 scoop of a spoon of almond butter. I am enjoying your blog, thank you
