The Breakfast Smoothie Everyone Loves

Prep time: 5 minutes Serves 1

1 cup frozen organic berries
1 cup unsweetened almond or coconut milk
1 scoop protein powder*
1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon raw organic coconut oil

Blend and enjoy!

*Use either egg white, whey, or goat's whey. MRM, Jay Robb, Tera's Whey, and Fit 365 are the best brands, since they are sweetened with stevia and are hormone- and antibiotic-free.

If you don't mind the flavor, you can add 1 teaspoon of powdered greens, such asVitamineral Green, to enhance the nutritional value of your smoothie.

Can I use coconut cream instead of coconut oil in the berry smoothie, if so how much should I use?

  Hi Lisa! You could use 1/4 cup coconut cream if you’d like, let us know how it turns out 🙂

Why do you use whey protein for those that are lactose intolerant or don’t want dairy?

How do you use the Coconut Oil? Melted or not melted? If it is melted I guess you wait til it is room temperature to use it? Otherwise it makes your smoothie warm. Am I right? If it is not melted then I would think it would be clumpy. Please advise. Thanks

Hi Christa,
I really love this idea. I always have a hard time with breakfast because I can’t tolerate eggs (digestively), and with smoothies, whey gives me acne. Can I use pea protein? If so, do you have a brand you recommend? THANKS! 🙂

      that’s the one I use too – makes good smoothies – and with candida, you can’t do dairy and whey is dairy… so veggie protein is it!

Ah Patty, thank you! I am redesigning the site this quarter and hadn’t even thought of that feature. It will be added!

Hello!

I love your recipes and have printed 5 of them in the past year. But I have to copy/paste into a Word.doc. Do you have the option of adding a “”Print Recipe”” button so we can feasibly print?
