Protein-Packed Blueberry Breakfast Smoothie

I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve made this smoothie. It is such a simple mixture that seems to please everybody. It’s easy to add to any breakfast meal and is a good base for any other additions like acai, hemp protein or maca. Taking only 5 minutes to whip together, I’d say it’s a winner in my heart. This smoothie is also very easy to hide spinach in (shh…don’t tell anybody) due to the vibrant purple colour of the blueberries. We like to pair this smoothie with a side of scrambled eggs with turmeric, quinoa and sautéed spinach. This smoothie is also a great recipe for people who are smoothie-newbies and who want to start eating a little healthier; it will be just sweet enough for them but also nutrient dense. With over 20g of protein in each serving, this smoothie is also perfect for a post workout shake. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it! X

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tbsp almond butter

  • If making ahead of time, leave out the chia seeds as they will make the smoothie clump together. You can use hemp seeds as an alternative.
