Are Smoothies Good For Breakfast?
Yes! However, it depends on how you make them. A smoothie loaded with fruit is delicious... but it won't tide you over. Instead, when opting for a healthy breakfast smoothie, make sure your smoothie contains: Healthy fats: stay full, satiated, and for kids help boost brain health by ensuring that your morning smoothie has a few healthy fats in it Protein: protein not only revs up our system in the morning but also helps keep us full. For this reason, this smoothie contains lots of plant-based protein, it also has a scoop of collagen powder. Collagen is a beneficial part of bone broth and wonderful for your hair, skin, and nails. However, unlike bone broth, it doesn’t taste like well, bone broth. Similarly, collagen powder is odorless and flavorless. Plus, if ethically sourced one of the purest forms of protein you can give to your kids! I grab my collagen from Perfect Supplements and while I love their big tub of powder, I love the individual packets even more! A Fruit To Veg Ratio: fruits help keep a smoothie sweet but too many and it's sugar overload.

Glad it looks good to you! I would sub in some flaxseed if you have it- it would add a healthy fat and keep the consistency. You could also do a combo of flaxseed and coconut milk 🙂
