Katie's Berry Best Breakfast Smoothie

Smoothies are one of my favourite breakfast meals for a quick and healthy mid-week option. Today I'm sharing my go-to recipe that's nutritious, delicious, and will keep you full until lunch!

This smoothie contains a significant amount of protein, healthy fats, fibre, as well as vitamins and minerals. It's truly a complete breakfast and a great way to start your day. See you later cheerios... 

Ingredients
  • 1/2 - 3/4 cup frozen organic mixed berries 
  • 1 small avocado (or ½ a large one) - the key ingredient to thick, satisfying smoothies! 
  • 2 Tbsp. hemp hearts
  • 1 Tbsp. ground flax seeds
  • Handful of greens (spinach, kale or other), about ½ cup loosely packed
  • Splash of a milk alternative like almond, coconut, or cashew milk (optional!) 
  • Approximately 1 cup filtered water  
  • ½ scoop of high quality protein powder (such as whey isolate or harmonized vegan)

Blend all ingredients on high using your best blender for 30-60 seconds and enjoy immediately! 

Tips and Tricks 
  • Use more or less water to get your desired consistency 
  • If you tolerate dairy well, you can also add 1/4 cup of plain, unsweetened full fat yogurt or greek yogurt for added protein 
  • For sweetness, choose small amounts of tropical fruits like pineapple, banana, or mango 
  • Defrost berries for easier blending 
  • Pack in a glass mason jar or other container for a quick to-go option  
 
I've also included the approximate nutrition information below. 

Hope you enjoy!
