Are you sick of smoothie recipes, yet!? I hope not, but if you are, I promise this is the last smoothie recipe for awhile. And, I saved the best smoothie for last. This delicious Breakfast Energy Smoothie is a quick, nutrient packed and will energize you until lunchtime!
This smoothie is loaded with fresh or frozen fruit, orange juice, and yogurt.It’s a great way to start out your day, knowing you started out your day on a healthy foot {which means I can have one of my Chocolate Chip Cookies for dessert tonight, right!?}
JUST A COUPLE SMOOTHIE MAKING TIPS:
✓ USE FROZEN FRUIT: I like to use frozen fruit instead of ice cubes in my smoothies. For this smoothie you want to use mixed berries, like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries….these berries give you energy! And to make it super easy, I just buy the chopped frozen mixed berries in the frozen section of my grocery store, because I’m all about making things quicker and easier!
✓ FILL UP YOUR BLENDER: You always want to layer your ingredients softest to hardest (frozen). First, add the orange juice, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Then, add the fresh or frozen fruit.
