Simple Healthy Breakfast: Design Your Own Shakes with This Formula

Are you in a breakfast rut? This formula for designing your own simple healthy breakfast shakes will help you out of it fast!

Warmer weather draws us to cooler food choices. I just love waking up knowing I get to have a delicious, healthy shake for breakfast!

It’s so much more refreshing than coffee, in my opinion, and it’s so much more nourishing and energizing!

And we all know moms need lots of energy to make it through the day! 🙂 Start your day off right with a healthy, protein-packed shake.

Here’s how you can design your own simple, healthy breakfast shakes. All you need is the basic formula, and then you can create your own!

Pick the ingredients you have on hand, or the ones you particularly love.

Simple Healthy Breakfast Shakes

Follow the formula below to create your shake. This will make one serving.

Step One

Add the following ingredients to your blender (this is my favorite blender ever):

• 1 cup of dairy-free liquid (unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, coconut water, hemp milk)
• 4-5 ice cubes and possibly additional water, depending on the consistency you prefer.
• 1 scoop of protein powder (I use prefer grass-fed protein powder)
• 1 Tablespoon chia seed or flaxseed meal
• 1/3 cup (or less) of fruit (mangos, apples, cherries, pears, berries, peaches, or kiwi are all good choices)
• Stevia, for sweetening (this is optional, but I always add it to mine—I use a combination of this one and this one).

Step Two

Choose at least two of the following add-in options to provide additional nourishment and flavor.

• 1 Tablespoon cinnamon (I love this cinnamon!)
• 1 Tablespoon melted coconut oil
• 1 Tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 Tablespoon hemp hearts
• 1 Tablespoon flaxseed oil
• 1 scoop of greens powder
• 1 scoop of reds powder
• 1 Tablespoon cocoa or cacao powder
• 1 Tablespoon Barlean’s Lemon Creme Fish Oil
• up to 2 Tablespoons nuts (cashews, almonds, walnuts)
• 1 Tablespoon nut or seed butter (almond, walnut or cashew butter)
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (learn how to make your own!)
• fresh greens such as spinach or kale

After you have your shake ingredients combined in the blender, blend until smooth and enjoy!

This makes one serving but may be doubled or tripled as desired.
