As you know from reading this blog, I am on a personal quest to be healthier through clean eating and proper exercise. My first step is to eat a healthy breakfast. Sounds simple enough, but I have not quite mastered this step. Sometimes I don’t eat until two hours after I wake up. Sometimes I don’t feel hungry. Sometimes my food choice is not that great.

I have to breakfast staples - oatmeal and smoothies. I’ve shared my oatmeal recipe so now it’s time to let you in on my smoothie recipe. You can keep all of these ingredients on hand. I buy frozen organic berries which are a lifesaver.

Blueberry Smoothie Recipe with Ground Flaxseeds 

This is a quick and nourishing breakfast that is very portable. It takes minutes to make. Pour it into a thermos and this is an easy on the go breakfast.

Ingredients

3/4 cup frozen berries - I use blueberries

1 1/4 cup milk (almond, soy, cow, goat, hemp, etc) - I either use almond or soy

1 scoop protein powder (I use goat whey)

1 tablespoon ground flax seeds

Instructions

Add the berries to the blender and pour milk over. Pulse for a few seconds. Add ground flaxseeds and the whey protein. Pulse until completely smooth and pour into a glass. If mixture is too thick, add a bit more milk.
