Berry Breakfast Smoothie Recipe Notes & Ideas
While it’s pretty hard to go wrong with such a simple, clean-eating recipe, there are a few things to consider depending on your goals.
First, if you’re trying to lose weight, then opt for lower-calorie milk like almond or soy. You’ll get a less creamy texture (depending on how many bananas you use), but you’ll save yourself calories on fat.
Second, if you want to add extra protein to your breakfast smoothie bowl, consider topping it with some nut butter or hemp seeds. But again, if you’re watching calories you may want to be a bit careful about this.
Third, don’t be afraid to experiment and play around with different fruits and flavors – the possibilities are endless!
Any red berry is a great place to start, but you can always use acai powder, blueberries, blackberries, or other tropical fruits to give it a unique and delicious twist.
Finally, another tip I have for you is if you don’t want this to be a bowl but would rather have a regular smoothie, one thing I do is gather my ingredients the night before, then plop them into my Vitamix while I’m getting dressed for the day and let it blend down for a loooooong time.
The smoothie turns out extra creamy and smooth that way and it just – tastes better!
So go ahead – get creative with your smoothie bowls and enjoy a nutritious breakfast every day.
Happy blending!
