Learn how to make 5 different fun and healthy breakfast smoothies! These cool, refreshing smoothies are my go-to start to a summer day.
Let’s eat the rainbow! Or, with these healthy breakfast smoothies, drink the rainbow through a straw (or scoop it up with a spoon… how you like to enjoy your smoothie is really up to you).
How to Meal Prep Healthy Breakfast Smoothies
Today we’re continuing our “grab & go” series with Almond Breeze. 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:
Pour in enough almond milk to get your blender moving – and then go get moving! It’s time to start the day :). Happy Monday!
And if you love breakfast smoothies…
Be sure to try this smoothie bowl, this coffee smoothie, green smoothie, or this strawberry berry banana smoothie next!
Healthy Breakfast Smoothies
- ½ banana
- big handful of strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup dried goji berries
- 1 peach, sliced
- handful of raspberries
- ½ tablespoon almond butter
- slices from ½ of a large mango
- 1 peach, sliced
- 1 teaspoon maca powder
- slices from ½ of a large mango
- handful of fresh spinach
- 1-2 teaspoons matcha
- ⅓ cup tart cherries
- ⅓ cup blueberries
- ½ - 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder
- ½ - ¾ cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk Original
- a few pieces of ice
- 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.
- 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).
- Blend in "extras" (goji berries, almond butter, maca, matcha, cacao) at the end.
Truly appreciate the way you made this wonderful recipe. Everything is so nicely described that really helped me. I am looking forward for more such yummy recipes in future too.
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.
Good
awesome recipe dear
I love your site and recipes! XO
Hello!
where did you find these glass containers? I find them extremely adorable and they also will be extremely useful for college so i wanted to get some.
Hi Faith, here they are (they come in various sizes and shapes), they also sell them at the Container Store: http://www.amazon.com/Wean-Green-Garden-Lunch-Containers/dp/B005OK1H8K/ref=pd_bxgy_325_img_y
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?
I am also allergic to banana – here are options I’ve found to replace them in smoothies:
MANGO
PINEAPPLE
AVOCADO
SWEET POTATOES (cooked)
SOAKED CASHEWS
OATS
CHIA SEEDS
COCONUT CREAM
YOGURT
I too have developed a recent allergy to bananas that is so severe that I end up puking. This helped a lot, thanks
Yum! Love this! Quick question…did you freeze them in those glass containers?
Yes, but these containers happen to be freezer safe. (You could also freeze your ingredients in plastic baggies if you wanted).
Oh, yum… love this post! So many great smoothie ideas!
Love all these beautiful colors. And such a great idea to get everything together and streamlined as possible, so you’re ready to go on the weekday morning. Thanks for the inspiration!
this post is so easy on the eyes!! all those colours… and smoothies! so perfect for this sticky weather here in TO! xo
That peach smoothie looks fantastic. It’s almost peach season here in Oregon. I nice added touch would be just a tiny splash of almond extract. So yummy with peaches!
I love it! So beautifully displayed and a great reminder that prepping ahead is always a good option for a healthy grab and go breakfast.
Such a beautiful, colourful post! It’s so easy to eat healthy when the food looks as beautiful as this!

Can you use dried goji berries for this? I could only find dried goji berries or goji berry powder at the local whole foods. Thanks!
yep, they ones I used are dried (I’ll edit this to mention that). And I didn’t freeze them with the other fruit, just added them in at the end.
Great, thanks!
Thee are so pretty! Love those colors.
This is such a lovely post! Perfect to introduce people to smoothie making 🙂
What a wonderful time saving idea and great way to preserve nutrients in fruit and veg that might otherwise go off. Looking forward to trying the Mango Maca!
Yummy, yummy! I love smoothies and all its possible variations. Besides healthy and delicious, they are so pretty!
