HEALTHY STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE BREAKFAST RECIPE

If you’re looking for a quick and healthy breakfast or snack, smoothies are one of the easiest things you can make. They are portable and perfect if your mornings are busy and you need something quick to fill you up when you’re on the go.

My kids are big smoothie fans and a few of their favorites include this mango smoothie, green smoothie, blueberry smoothie and this healthy strawberry smoothie. 

What I love about making these strawberry breakfast smoothies is that they are ready in under ten minutes and packed with simple ingredients you probably already have in your fridge or freezer.

It’s naturally sweet from the fresh or frozen strawberries and has that added protein from the coconut cream to help fill you up. Plus, this recipe for a strawberry smoothie is super customizable so you can add any other ingredients you like or have on hand.

WHAT TO PUT IN A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE

Making a strawberry smoothie at home is one of the easiest things since you can use whatever you have in your fridge or pantry. I love how versatile these healthy shakes are.

You can just swap in your favorite fruit, vegetables and other spices and add-ins you like.

• frozen or fresh strawberries : are packed with fiber, vitamin c, and antioxidants, plus potassium.
• frozen mango chunks OR sub with cantaloupe for low carb / keto version
• fresh raspberries
• coconut cream OR yogurt if not dairy free
• water OR almond milk

HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIES

1. POUR LIQUID FIRST: You’re going to start by adding the water or almond milk to your high speed blender. Adding the liquid first helps to make the other ingredients blend much faster.
2. ADD GREENS OR SOFTER FRUIT & VEGGIES: Next, add any spinach, kale and other soft fruits such as fresh berries. Feel free to add sweeteners, protein powder and any extra flavorings / spices you like.
3. TOSS IN FROZEN OR HARD FRUIT LAST: If you’re using frozen strawberries, add them in. 

BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE VARIATIONS:

You can also change up these easy smoothie recipes with any add-in choices that you like:

• water
• coconut water
• matcha powder or brewed green tea
• cocao powder
• for dairy free: almond milk, soy milk or oat milk
• avocado: a low carb and dairy free way to add creaminess to a keto strawberry smoothie
• ripe frozen banana (adds thickness as well) for a strawberry banana smoothie
• water kefir
• chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds: for added fiber and protein

Make smoothie bowls and add your favorite toppings.

OTHER VEGGIES YOU CAN USE:

• cauliflower – adds bulk
• zucchini

If NOT Whole30, paleo & dairy is okay:

• plain yogurt, Greek yogurt or vanilla yogurt – add to the freezer for 20 minutes and it tastes just like ice cream
• peanut butter, almond butter or sunflower seed butter for extra added protein
• gluten free oats for extra staying power
