Mornings are crazy hectic. There are bags to pack, lunches to make, and even when clothes are laid out the night before, it always seems as if a sock or shoe goes missing. Getting everyone ready, dressed, and out the door is enough of a challenge — but no one should go anywhere without having breakfast first. Cereal and premade boxed pastries are options when time is short, but if starting the day off with something healthy is the goal, a breakfast smoothie is definitely the way to go.
Not only are smoothies a fantastic option for quick and easy breakfasts on the go, but they also make it easier to reach the goals of five servings of fruit and veggie a day. Adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to the smoothie base is an easy way to give a breakfast smoothie a creamy protein boost. If mid-morning hunger always seems to strike after a sweet breakfast, try adding a scoop or two of oatmeal to a morning smoothie to help make that "full" feeling last longer. (Plus, oatmeal will give the digestive tract an extra kick of helpful fiber!)
We've rounded up 20 amazing breakfast smoothie recipes that are so tempting the snooze button doesn't stand a chance. There are chocolate-laced concoctions that mask whole servings of healthy spinach, vibrant green smoothies the whole office will want to know about, immunity-boosting fruit smoothies that taste like summer, and cookie flavored drinks the kids will beg for.
Grab a blender and go drink some breakfast!
