Kick start your mornings with these healthy breakfast smoothies. These are quick and easy to make, ready in less than 5 minutes with no compromise on taste.
This post is for all my readers who have been writing to me for long time now with a request to post some healthy smoothies and recipes for weight loss or lose belly fat.
Among the different smoothies out there, my favorite smoothie flavors are spinach smoothie, blueberry smoothie, and chocolate smoothie. No sugar or milk is added to make these smoothies. Best recipes to start with if you are on a weight loss journey.
Basic ingredients to make the best smoothie
The common ingredients for all my smoothies are banana, avocado, almonds, dates, and oats. These give the smoothie a very creamy and smooth texture plus they come with a lot of health benefits.
In shots it's banana avocado oatmeal smoothie with a surprise!
All the ingredient amounts given will yield a glass of each smoothie and it's really going to be filling and tasty!
For spinach smoothie or green smoothie
All you need is spinach, banana, avocado, almonds, dates, and oats.
For chocolate smoothie :
All you need is cocoa powder, banana, yogurt raisins, almonds, dates, avocado, and cinnamon. (you may optionally add oats for additional carbs and fiber)
For blueberry smoothie
All you need is blueberries, almonds, dates, avocado, banana, and oats.
Add all the ingredients to the blender with ice cubes and cold water and blend till smooth and creamy.
You can serve these smoothies to kids too. The sweetness that comes from fruits, dates, and nuts is sufficient for me and my family as we really don't love anything too sweet in the mornings. For any additional sweetness, you can add honey or other natural sweeteners such as maple syrup, stevia etc., or nut butter, or even whole milk.
Let us know what is your favorite smoothie flavor. We would love to try them!
