Breakfast for Champions
Breakfast smoothies can be different every morning. Add fruits of your liking, BUT important to switch things up routinely to obtain different nutrients and vitamins.
Here is one idea:
- Banana—once they start turning brown with many spots– peel and freeze in zip lock bags. These frozen bananas can be used at any point in smoothies. The more spots, the sweeter the banana.
- Pineapple—if you cut a pineapple and not sure what to do with the core—it is great for smoothies provided you have a good blender
- Blueberries, raspberries, or any other berry of choice, or what about kiwis
- Avocado added makes for a very creamy smooth texture
- Add coconut water— high in electrolytes and very low in calories. Add enough for whatever texture you prefer.
Other additions to a smoothie to give longer satiety:
- 2 T of chia seeds
- ¼ cup walnuts or pecans
If you have spinach on hand, you can throw a handful in also for extra calcium. You will never know it’s in there.
This is a fast breakfast that is quick to put together. Once you have it made, you can drink it while prepping yourself for your busy day. Energy will come your way! You can drink a cup or a pint—up to you. This will make enough for you and at least one other person or more depending on what you add.
