It has been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But many of us skip breakfast or eat something unhealthy on the go because our mornings are so chaotic, or because we hit snooze too many times. This smoothie is filling, healthy, delicious and super easy to make. I adapted it from a non-vegan version that my brother in law likes to make after he works out. I tried lots of variations with frozen fruit, fresh fruit and non-dairy milks and yogurts, and this one is my favorite. This smoothie is great for so many reasons other than just being delicious. Bananas are full of potassium which helps to reduce strokes and blood pressure, vitamin A and iron, they promote bowel health, lift your spirits and boost brainpower! Berries contain vitamin C, blueberries can prevent bladder infections and both blueberries and raspberries contain lutein which helps maintain healthy vision. All that and it tastes great too!
Ingredients
1 medium banana
5-8 strawberries depending on size (organic berries tend to be smaller- stay tuned for more on organic produce)
frozen blueberries (I usually just eyeball this but it is probably about 1/4 c.
frozen raspberries- about 10
almond milk (see below on how much to use)
Instructions
Combine all fruit in a blender. Pour in almond milk until it rises to the 1 cup line.
Blend and enjoy
