HEALTHY BREAKFAST SMOOTHIES

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.

Among 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.

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 lot of health benefits.

In short its a banana avocado oatmeal smoothie with a surprise!

All the ingredient amounts given will yield a glass of each smoothie and its really going to be filling and tasty!

For spinach smoothie : All you need is spinach, banana, avocado, almonds, dates, 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 in 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 are 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!
