Health-Packed On the Go Smoothie

smoothie 2

This on the go smoothie is my absolute favorite. I’ll often blend it up real quick when I want a fast, health-packed breakfast that’s also really yummy. 

Health a yummy CAN go together. This is one of my favorite examples.

This smoothie is thick and delicious. Its filling enough to be a meal and sometimes I'll even make it for an on-the-go dinner cause its so easy. The fruit gives it lots of sweetness. If you've got a sweet tooth add in some additional honey and you'll be good to go.

I’ve made this so many times and so many different ways. I’ll swap out the strawberries of mixed berries or blueberries. I’ll often add in two eggs and put in more berries so it’s thicker. Sometimes I put in the chia seeds, sometimes I skip them. It’s up to you. Make it how you like it best. My favorite way is with the greens, but if you prefer to skip them you can do that too. I usually use mild-flavored greens like romaine lettuce but you can also use spinach, just know it will be stronger tasting. 

I make the nut milk first and even skipping the straining step. Because this is a thick smoothies with lots of additives you'd never notice the milk wasn't strained. I love time and dishes saving little things like this.


Okay. . . Lets make the smoothie!

on the go smoothie variations

Here's a quick list of some of my variations you can try. 

  • banana
  • 2 eggs
  • mixed berries, frozen
  • powered vitamin c, just a dash
  • maple syrup instead of honey
  • stevia if you want less carbs
  • goat or cow milk instead of nut milk
  • could use your favorite protein powder instead of collagen. If it's already sweetened you might want to skip the honey.
