Not all smoothies are created equal, and this Healthy Breakfast Smoothie has the perfect balance of ingredients to cram some extra vitamins and minerals into your day.  For an even healthier breakfast smoothie I love to add spinach and a tablespoon of flax seed or chia seeds. You could also add a scoop of protein powder for a boost of protein. Make it your own and adapt the recipe as needed to use what you already have in your fridge or freezer. It depends on the smoothie recipe.  A lot of smoothies have tons of sugar and very little nutritional value.  You want to be sure your smoothie isn’t packed full of sugar (even when it comes from the fruit) and that it has a balance of protein and fiber. This smoothie is made with Greek yogurt and old fashioned oats, both of which will contribute additional protein and fiber to help you feel full and satisfied. Berries are full of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.  They also contain antioxidants that help fight off disease. Bananas are one of the healthiest foods on the planet; they’re full of potassium, fiber, and vitamin B6 and can help your body regulate stress and anxiety levels.  Pay attention to how you feel after eating one!

Add fresh or frozen fruit to your blender.  Add liquid (milk, water, or low-sugar fruit juice).  Add old-fashioned oats, Greek yogurt, and a handful of ice.  Blend very well, until smooth. Add more ice (to thicken) or liquid (to thin) until it reaches your desired consistency.
