Breakfast Smoothy

I have had quite a few requests from friends who were interested in my breakfast smoothie I do almost every morning. If you are anything like me and have the hardest time waking up early, making breakfast, or even just want something quick and easy this might do the trick for you.

Please keep in mind the measurements I put with mine are meant for me. I work with a trainer and nutritionist so these are meant to help me meet my meal plans and stay on track with my goals. I HIGHLY recommend you speak with a trainer or nutritionist to make sure this is a good option for you and will meet your meal plans as well. YES this is the COMPLETE ingredients for this, I am not holding back on you guys with this one! 

First things first

ICE!

I add crushed ice to the bottom of my blender. You will need to play with how much you add to make sure you get the right amount. I can usually add one glass full of ice.

1 cup of spinach (can be replaced with kale)

1 or 1/2 scoop choice Protein Powder ( I usually use chocolate)

That is my base. After that I sometimes will add strawberries or raspberries to add flavor. 

Just keep in mind the more fruit you add the more sugar you are adding. Anything additional will count against your macros, so make sure you are tracking each thing you add. 

This is what it looked like this morning! Sometimes it comes out green, sometimes more red. Just depends what you add in. I can have this made in 5 minutes. Then I am ready to be out the door.

You will be surprised by how full this will keep you. You can play with it, add in anything or take away anything for your needs and goals. This is what works for me! 

Let me know if you have questions about anything. I will do my best to answer each question the best I can! My trainer I work with is Dan from Limitless Fitness. You can find him on Facebook and Instagram if you want to reach out to him for any fitness questions or to work with an AMAZING trainer!
