10 Healthy Breakfast Smoothie Recipes
Are you looking for a better, more fulfilling breakfast? If so, I’ve gathered together some healthy breakfast smoothie recipes for you!
Breakfast helps you start your day on the right note—and a healthy breakfast can even keep you from overeating later in the day.
If you’re a grab-and-go eater that’s looking for easy AND nutritious, you’ll definitely want to give some of these filling breakfast smoothies a try!
The Importance of Protein for Breakfast
There’s a reason why these shakes are perfect for breakfast—the reason is PROTEIN!
Protein enhances muscle growth and is an effective weight-loss tool, keeping you full for hours.
A protein shake is quick to make, portable, and nutritious, as long as you’re using high-quality ingredients.
In fact, the best breakfast smoothie includes a healthy protein powder along with veggies, fruits, and other ingredients.

Other Ingredients
Look for morning smoothie recipes that have protein, fiber, and healthy fats for a complete healthy start to your morning.
You also want to nclude fruit, veggies, a healthy liquid, and some protein powder. Speaking of protein powder, let’s talk about that for a sec.
A Word About Protein Powders
If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you know where I stand on Shakeology. It’s simply the BEST protein powder available—both because of the protein and because it offers more than protein.
Shakeology is an all-around nutrition supplement because the woman who created it had a husband who wouldn’t eat his veggies!
Many companies source inferior ingredients that are grown in unsanitary and sometimes toxic situations. Beachbody Research Labs tests every single Shakeology batch, so you can rest assured you’re getting top quality. You can read more about Shakeology here.
Adding a scoop of Shakeology makes a plain healthy smoothie recipe even better. When I see a breakfast smoothie I like, but it doesn’t include protein, I throw in a scoop of whatever Shakeology flavor works best with the ingredients.
