FAQs

Is it good to have smoothie for breakfast?

Yes, it is great to have smoothies for breakfast! Smoothies are nutrient dense, satisfying/filling, and energizing. Everything you need to start your day off right is packed into a smoothie!

What should I be putting in my morning smoothie?

Berries are a great thing to have in the morning in your smoothie. Berries are rich in antioxidants which are a natural energy booster. Think of this smoothie as a healthier energy drink!

Is milk or water a better liquid to add into smoothies?

Adding milk into a smoothie provides it with more protein, nutrients, and a creamier texture. If those are your goals within a smoothie, milk is the right choice for you. There are great benefits to adding water as the liquid in your smoothie as well, though. If you like a thinner smoothie, water is the option for you. As well as, if you find that it is hard for you to get enough water in throughout the day, sneaking it into a smoothie will help with that. Water also doesn’t alter the natural flavors that are in your smoothie. It also has zero calories!

Additional Smoothie Add-Ins

• Honey – If you like your smoothies on the sweeter side, add in a bit of honey to accomplish that!
• Chia Seeds – Chia seeds are full of health benefits, one of them being improved digestion. They won’t alter the taste of your smoothie; they will simply add nutrients.
• Hemp Hearts – Hemp hearts are similar to chia seeds in the sense that they don’t really alter the taste of your smoothie. They do just have a slight nuttiness to them. Hemp hearts are an additional source of protein!
• Oats – Another addition that will not change the taste! Oats add fiber to a smoothie and also help create a fun texture.

Ingredients

Wild Berries

Spinach – Fresh or frozen will work. If using fresh, make sure to blend the smoothie well so there are no big chunks of spinach.

Plain Greek Yogurt – I find plain Greek yogurt doesn’t alter the taste, it simply adds to the creaminess.

Milk – For the milk, it can be a dairy or non-dairy milk. I use whole milk.

Vanilla Protein Powder – Use a serving size of your favorite vanilla protein powder. We have been loving Ballerina Farm protein powder. This powder in particular makes the smoothie a bit frothier.
