This healthy Strawberry Green Breakfast Smoothie is so easy to throw together. I do recommend having a quality blender like a Blendtec or a Vitamix. This will ensure that the greens get completely blended and smooth.

But, even if you just have a regular blender, you can make this easy smoothie recipe.

Recipe Tips

If you’re new to making smoothies, I recommend that you follow my recipe exactly. If you’re a smoothie-making pro, then you can get more creative with your ingredients. But, I think this is an excellent basic green smoothie recipe that even kids will drink.

Most conventional smoothies use yogurt as the smoothie base. This usually works well because yogurt is creamy and contains a lot of protein. But, for making a dairy-free smoothie, I like to use hemp seeds and water as the base.

The hemp seeds are nutritious and are a nice source of plant-based protein, and they turn very creamy when blended with the water and other ingredients.

More Tips

  • Even if you’re using a high-speed blender, it’s always good practice to layer your ingredients into the blender with the liquids on the bottom. This will help the motor run efficiently, pulling the frozen ingredients and greens into the blades and getting a smooth consistency.
  • I always recommend using a mixture of fruits in a smoothie, especially pairing fruits with soluble fiber like bananas, mango, and pears, with non-soluble fibrous fruits like berries. This will also help create a nice, creamy consistency to your smoothie.
  • Feel free to use whatever nut butter you like. Peanut butter is always my favorite, but almond butter, cashew butter, or pumpkin seed butters are awesome too.
  • I also like to add a couple of dates to this healthy smoothie to help sweeten it up. If you don’t want the sugar, then you can leave them out, or you can feel free to use a couple of teaspoons of raw honey, if you prefer. But, most people will want a little added sweetness with either the dates or honey.
  • Lastly, I recommend adding a couple of scoops of collagen protein to this recipe to help balance the macronutrients. If you are vegan, try this unsweetened vegan protein powder.
