Sooner or later, these smoothies will become a staple in your morning routine because they are super easy to whip up. Of course, you can put all the ingredients in the blender jar, minus the ice, and in the morning blend and go!

Best Breakfast Smoothie Ingredients

Smoothies make it easy to pack various nutrients like seeds, veggies, and protein into one refreshing beverage.

If you want to give your favorite smoothies recipes a boost in nutrition even more, here are favorite kid-approved add-ins that enhance the flavor and texture of smoothies : 

  • Greek yogurt – adds creaminess, protein, and tastes great in fruit smoothies
  • Nut butter – Can anyone say peanut butter banana smoothie??
  • Chopped spinach – blend it with darker berries like blueberries and blackberries, so no one can tell there’s spinach. 
  • Chia seeds – does a great job of thickening.

Speaking of, if you run into the problem of a thin watery, smoothie, here’s a few pointers on how to thicken smoothies and bring it to the perfect consistency.

Healthy Morning Smoothie

These five breakfast smoothie recipes are a creative break from the usual strawberry banana combo and a perfect way to provide picky eaters with vital nutrients and fiber from the foods they often try to avoid.

The blending incorporates everything into a smooth, thick shake-like consistency and with their favorite flavors and fruit added, it leaves no room for questioning.

They’re perfect for busy mornings since the blender does all the work.
