Breakfast Smoothie Recipe Needed

[jnieman]

Hi:

I am not one to eat breakfast and find myself skipping that meal. I'm looking for a recipe for a breakfast smoothie I could make that would be healthy and without regular milk or ice cream. Soy milk would be my preference as I am lactose intollerant. Can you share with me your breakfast or anytime smoothie recipe? I need to start getting something in my stomach before 1:00 in the afternoon.

Thanks,

A really healthy and good tasting green smoothy recipe is - almond milk, a half cup of baby spinach, half or whole banana (cuts spinach bitterness so you don't taste it), and any other fruit eg. raspberries, strawberries etc. Add a little ice too. You will love it.

I am not lactose intolerant, so some substitution would be necessary, but here goes

Milk
French Vanilla Slimfast
Banana
Peanut Butter
Ice

The Elvis smoothie

You can use any ingredients you like. I use yogurt, make it myself...3 quarts at a time. Put some in a blender and add whatever fruit or vegies you like....and if you like it cold add some ice.

Well, tastes differ, but I love this one. I was raised on peanut butter, banana, and mayo sandwiches.

I use one container of yogurt, ocean spray cranberry or whatever juice or almond milk with some ice cubes and blend it

Here's mine:

1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup frozen mixed fruit (Sam's Club)
1/2 cup frozen blueberries (Ditto)
Big handful of Spinach
A little water if this is too thick
Sometimes add some cinnamon
Sometimes add some ginger

Sounds wonderful. Just a side note to anyone turning their nose up at the spinach, you cant taste it and it may turn a bit green but it will get all your healthy vitamins in. I have also used Kale which has the same effect. :wave:

I was also a breakfast skipper but realized I wasn't getting enough fruits and veggies in my diet and I was short on fiber. I started drinking this in the morning and I don't feel hungry and don't lack energy until well after noon:

Unsweetened Almond Milk: 8 ounces
Mixed berries: 5 ounces
Amazing Grass Green Superfood: 2 tablespoons
Flaxseed Meal: 2 tablespoons
Coconut Flour: 2 tablespoons

Total calories: between 350 - 400
Total fiber: between 19 - 21 grams

This isn't real "smooth" but there's lots of veggie servings, calcium, fiber, omega-3s and it tastes pretty good too.

My favorite is--

1 cup skim milk -- I know you can use water and probably other milk
1 scoop Synthrax Matrix Mint Cookie (internet)
3 ice cubes
half frozen banana
frozen strawberries to taste (Sam's Club)

I add fiber - and use Meijer's Sugar Free Berry.

Blend in my Vitamix!

Delicious. Tastes like a shake. Sometimes Mom and I split one in the evening! I love these shakes so much that when we travel by car, I take my blender with me!

I buy several packages of bananas at a time. I cut the bananas into quarters when I get home and put them on a cookie sheet and put in the freezer. After they are frozen, I put the bananas in Ziploc Freezer bags.
