Everyday Breakfast Smoothie

Okay, we don’t want to brag, but we're proud of this simple smoothie. It’s creamy, refreshing and just so good…you wouldn’t believe this is just a banana and almond butter! OMG.

We had the smoothie for breakfast the last three days and today and we think we might be giving up coffee because of this thing (it’s about time). Today we also added a pinch of cinnamon to the other two ingredients and wow, we think we're going to keep it up. It felt like we're drinking a tasty treat.

Are Smoothies Good for Breakfast?

Smoothies can be good for breakfast – they’re nutritious, full of antioxidants, fiber and minerals. That’s a great way to start your day. The only thing you need to consider when making a smoothie for breakfast is that it’s filling enough. You don’t want to be starving by 10 am.

Ingredients For A Filling Breakfast Smoothie

Fruits and vegetables are the main ingredients in smoothies, but as healthy as they are, they will not fill you up for a long time. You drink your smoothie in the morning, then 15 minutes later: we need a snack.

In order to make a filling smoothie for breakfast, try adding some of these ingredients to your blender:

• nut or seed butter
• hemp seeds
• chia seeds
• soaked cashews
• flax meal
• oats
• yogurt
• coconut milk

You can do one of them or a combination for a filling breakfast shake.

This particular almond butter banana smoothie is solid for breakfast since we put a little bit more almond butter in it. We did this mostly because we wanted the taste of almonds to be the more dominant one here. If you don’t want the almond taste to dominate your smoothie use less of it.

How it comes together

It’s simple. Put the frozen banana and almond butter into your blender cup, add some water or milk of choice, some cinnamon if desired and blend until smooth.

That’s it! Your simple healthy smoothie is ready for breakfast.

Everyday Breakfast Smoothie Benefits

Almond butter is calorie-dense, but it also makes this smoothie nutritious. At around 350 kcal, you get a great amount of iron and vitamin E, a good amount of protein, fiber, and potassium. Which are all so important for our overall health and so non-existent in regular pancakes or eggs with bacon.

This smoothie recipe is vegan, paleo, gluten-free and dairy-free, we hope you like it.
