Refreshing and super healthy Green Breakfast Smoothie that is guaranteed to keep you full until lunchtime.
Who else LOVES green smoothies? They’re so good for you…I mean what else makes you feel 10x healthier before you’re even done drinking it?
Many peeps love drinking green smoothies not only for breakfast but also as a snack or for lunch. One issue I have with subbing green smoothies for a meal is that I still feel HUNGRY after. Green smoothies are great as a snack or post-workout pick-me-up. But to replace an entire meal, you really need something substantial.
That’s why we’ll be adding some ‘substance’ to our Green Breakfast Smoothie which is oats. You can literally turn any smoothie into a breakfast smoothie by simply adding good ol’ oatmeal to it. It adds calories, more fiber, and some protein to keep you full.
Green Smoothies are great for breakfast. Blend it and sip it while you’re going through your morning routine such as doing make-up, getting dressed, or during your commute. Efficiency baby…😉
I’m not going to get into all the details of why green smoothies are good for you. One thing I’ll mention is (which I think is super important): it provides you with the daily dose of greens. Sometimes a couple of days can go by without eating a salad but if you have 1x green smoothie a day, you don’t even really have to have a salad. #saladinabottle
After making this smoothie for a couple of days in a row, I’ve experimented with different variations and this one here is truly the best.
When you add greens to a smoothie, it can sometimes taste bitter. So I’ve added a little bit of lemon juice to help offset that bitterness.
