How to Meal Prep Healthy Breakfast Smoothies

Today we’re continuing our “grab & go” series with Almond Breeze, (see parts 1, 2 and 3). The idea with these breakfast smoothies is that you assemble all of your fruits & vegetables ahead of time so that your morning smoothie is fast and easy to make. Chop up your fruit (and veggies if you want a green one), and pack them away in freezer-safe containers or baggies – I made enough for 5 days a week – because weekends are for waffles.

Add in some superfood fun if you like, all of these are optional, but they’re tasty nutritional additions to play around with in a breakfast smoothie. I like to add a scoop of nut butter to make my smoothie more filling, so I stay satisfied till lunch:

Instructions
  1. Assemble ½ banana into each freezer container (or freezer safe baggie). Add fruits/vegetables, then place your containers into the freezer until you're ready to blend each one.
  2. Blend each smoothie with a few pieces of ice and ½ cup to ¾ cup almond milk (enough almond milk to get your blender blade moving).

    This is exactly what I needed. I usually don’t have time to make breakfast in the mornings, but this simple meal prep can change that. I never really thought about meal prepping a smoothie, but it honestly makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate how you laid a handful of recipes so that I can have a variety of food to try.

    I love smoothies but never make them. These sound delicious. I am, however, very allergic to bananas and never know what a good substitute would be. Do you have any recommendations?
