Having a green smoothie in the morning for breakfast is the easiest way to get your greens for the day and out of the way. I am going to be honest … I am not the biggest fan of eating vegetables. That’s it, I said. Yes, I am a 27-year-old woman and I do not enjoy eating my vegetables all of the time.
It is not even the taste that bothers me, I think it is more so the preparation and the bulk of it.

Ideally, I aim to eat one big salad everyday as one of my meals. To get full on leafy greens I have to eat A LOT if it is just greens without protein or fats. This is going to sound ridiculous but at times I feel … it is too much work to eat.
I know …. I know, I am embarrassed to even type that sentence out but it’s how I feel. When I started making green smoothies for breakfast, it was a game changer. Not only do I get to drink my greens which is waaaayyyy easier and faster (I love being efficient), but I am waaaayyyy more likely to actually ingest the greens I need on a daily basis if I take them through a smoothie for breakfast.
You get to know yourself with time and sure, I could be more disciplined and just eat the greens every single day, but … I know myself enough to know that if there is another route that is easier on me AND would have a higher success rate of me taking my greens, I am going to do that instead.
Below you will find my everyday go to green smoothie for breakfast recipe. Everyone is different with their preferences, so I have also mentioned little notes considering preferences.
You can have this drink alone if you do not enjoy eating a meal for breakfast or it can easily pair this with any other breakfast meal you have in mind.
Ingredients:
-1 Frozen Banana (I personally ripen my bananas then freeze them, a few black spots, so they are sweet when frozen therefore, sweet in the smoothie)
-1 cup or 1 ½ cup* of milk (could be oatmilk, coconut milk, almond milk, or even coconut water if you are looking for extra hydration)
-1 scoop of Equip Foods Micro Greens Mixed Berry powder Use Code: MH10 for a discount $$$! (I have been using this green powder for YEARS and I absolutely love it. It is a brand I trust that have actual clean products, not filled with junk)
Optional: adding a bit of raw honey makes it that much sweeter (can you tell I like sweets : ) plus raw honey as some amazing benefits so now you can have your greens out of the way plus your daily honey intake if you choose to do so!
Directions:
1. Put banana in blender.
2. Start of with the milk, take it from me, your green powder will be less likely to stick onto the blender/cup if you add your liquid first. You want to make sure you get all those greens right?!
3. Add one scoop of Equip Foods Micro Green Mixed Berry powder
4. Blend baby blend to your liking and enjoy!
Also optional: If you do not want a meal for breakfast but do want an intake of protein I would suggest adding a scoop of Equip Foods Prime Protein in vanilla or their Prime Plant protein in vanilla. I am OBSESSED with their plant protein and I am not even a vegan, I just think it is nice to switch it up. It is so yummy! And yes you can use code MH10 at checkout for any Equip Foods product.
*this depends on your preferences; I like my smoothie to be a bit thicker so I do not add much liquid but if you enjoy yours more fluid like then definitely feel free to add more!
