Why would you eat your breakfast when you could drink it instead? Mornings are hard, especially when you’re still trying to unglue your post-sleep dry eyelids and work up the motivation to shower, put on clothes or exist at all.
This smoothie is for those days, and every other day when you want a healthy breakfast that you can sit and drink on your couch while you wallow in self-pity about the fact that you have to leave and go to class. There’s also a ton of different vitamins and other essential nutrients, like iron, vitamin A, plenty of omega-3’s, potassium, protein, vitamin C and more. The best part is, it’s also vegan friendly and the oats in it will keep you full for longer than a typical smoothie usually would.
Ingredients:
2-3 cups almond milk (possibly more or less depending on how thick you prefer your smoothies)
A few cubes of ice
2 pinches of flaxseed
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
1 cup rolled oats
1 banana
1 cup berries (I’d suggest buying frozen mixed berries for this, but fresh is fine too)
1 carrot (peeled and chopped)
2 cups kale
2 pinches of flaxseed
1 tablespoon of chia seeds
Directions:
Blend the ingredients until your smoothie reaches your preferred consistency.
