Smoothies are hands-down one of the easiest breakfast options. The stuff mixes by itself while you’re checking your phone or applying mascara, and you get a healthy dose of fruits and veggies from the get-go. Plus, you can also sneak in collagen supplements or protein powder without altering the delicious taste! If you use the right combination of ingredients, your morning smoothie will keep you full until lunch, too.
The best thing about protein shakes is that you can take them with you if you’re in a rush – and no, you don’t need protein powder for a smoothie that keeps you full until lunch.
Our favorite morning smoothie blends 1/2 cup of blueberries (for fiber, carbs, and antioxidants), coconut milk (for fat), 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds (for protein and omega-3 fats), a scoop vanilla protein powder, and a dash of cinnamon to help stabilize blood sugar.
7 Filling Breakfast Smoothie Recipes
If you’re looking to switch things up, these breakfast smoothie recipes are filling enough to keep you going until lunch.
1. Gingerbread Cookie Smoothie
The creamy taste of cashew milk combined with nut butter and avocado make this smoothie super filling. Plus you’ll feel like you’re having cookies for breakfast! Add in spinach, chia seeds and flaxseed meal to keep you full until lunch. Chia seeds contain 2.5 grams of protein per tablespoon and a hefty share of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
