Let’s eat the rainbow! Or, with these healthy breakfast smoothies, drink the rainbow through a straw (or scoop it up with a spoon… how you like to enjoy your smoothie is really up to you).

How to Meal Prep Healthy Breakfast Smoothies

Today we’re continuing our “grab & go” series with Almond Breeze, (see parts 1, 2 and 3). The idea with these breakfast smoothies is that you assemble all of your fruits & vegetables ahead of time so that your morning smoothie is fast and easy to make. Chop up your fruit (and veggies if you want a green one), and pack them away in freezer-safe containers or baggies – I made enough for 5 days a week – because weekends are for waffles.

Add in some superfood fun if you like, all of these are optional, but they’re tasty nutritional additions to play around with in a breakfast smoothie. I like to add a scoop of nut butter to make my smoothie more filling, so I stay satisfied till lunch:

Pour in enough almond milk to get your blender moving – and then go get moving! It’s time to start the day :). Happy Monday!

Instructions

Assemble ½ banana into each freezer container (or freezer safe baggie). Add fruits/vegetables, then place your containers into the freezer until you’re ready to blend each one.
Blend each smoothie with a few pieces of ice and ½ cup to ¾ cup almond milk (enough almond milk to get your blender blade moving).
Blend in “extras” (goji berries, almond butter, maca, matcha, cacao) at the end.

NotesI use a Vitamix – if your blender isn’t as powerful, let your frozen smoothie ingredients thaw at room temp for just a few minutes.3.4.3177
