Cool, creamy, and delicious – this Strawberry Sunrise Breakfast Smoothie is vitamin-packed, and not only tastes great, but is full of protein and fiber to give you lasting energy.

3 Strawberry Sunrise Breakfast Smoothies with straws in mason jars.

We love smoothies in this house. Easy to make, portable, and versatile, we typically start our day with one of my smoothie recipes. My boys are now practically teenagers, but as early as 8 months we began introducing them to smoothies made with whole milk yogurt. Ideal for using up leftover fruit, smoothies are the ideal breakfast-in-a-glass packed with vitamins and nutrients to give you lasting energy.

Most recently I created a Strawberry Sunrise Breakfast Smoothie to use up leftover orange juice I had in the refrigerator. The tangy citrus adds the perfect amount of acidity and tang to balance the sweet and juicy strawberries.

Ingredients

  • Strawberries: Sweet, juicy, and sometimes a little tart. If it’s not strawberry season, feel free to use frozen strawberries. It’s easy to freeze your own berries to use all year round!
  • Banana: Naturally sweet and creamy, I use a banana so I don’t ever add any processed sugars.
  • Orange juice: Sweet, tangy, and packed full of vitamin C.
  • Yogurt: You can use plain yogurt if the fruit adds enough sweetness for you, or use vanilla yogurt.
  • Flax seed meal: Flavorless, but adds essential omega 3 fatty acids to your drink.
  • Cinnamon: Adds a bit of warmth and antioxidants to the smoothie.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you prepare this smoothie in ahead of time?

I wouldn’t recommend making this smoothie more than 30 minutes before you plan to enjoy it. With that said, to save time in the morning, you can place all the ingredients in the blender the night before, refrigerate the blender full of ingredients overnight then simply blend in the morning.

How do you make a smoothie vegan?

Simply swap out the yogurt or milk with full-fat coconut milk or water to make vegan.

Can I Use a whole orange instead of orange juice?

Yes absolutely! A whole orange is even better because you’ll get all of the fiber from the fruit.

    Between milk, cheese, yogurt and ice cream, I think I am getting my “6 a day” of dairy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. This bright, colorful, creamy smoothie is a glass full o’ goodness. I’ll take mine w/ two straws for twice the slurping :)
