Breakfast is the hardest meal for me to prepare for. It's hard to wake up early enough to make a nice spread of healthy food. I started looking for things I could make the night before or something quick but filling I could make in the morning. These easy breakfast smoothies and these overnight oats filled those requirements and then some. They are healthy and taste amazing! And let's face it, taste is an important factor.

How to make easy breakfast smoothies

Smoothies are easy to make but there are a couple of important things to keep in mind.

1. The liquid always goes first. This helps the blender mix up the frozen fruits more easily.
2. Blend any greens first. If you are putting greens in your smoothie, blend them with the liquid first to make them smooth.
3. Use sliced frozen fruit. Freeze your fruit sliced or buy sliced frozen fruit to use for two reasons. The first is because sliced fruit is easier to blend. The second is so you don't need to use ice to make the smoothie cold. This will water down your smoothies, which is alright in some cases, but in general, it's not ideal.

How to turn these easy breakfast smoothies into meal prep

Smoothies are the perfect breakfast for meal prep because the ingredients freeze well.

• Put the ingredients for one smoothie, except the liquid, in a quart-size freezer bag. Squeeze out the air and seal. Label the bag, using a marker, with the recipe title and date. Place the bag(s) in the freezer until you're ready to blend them.
• In the morning, pour the contents of the bag into a blender and add the liquid. Blend until smooth.

Recommended tools for making smoothies

• Blender: I had a cheap blender for a long time until I decided to invest in a high-powered one I got this Vitamix blender a couple of years ago and I love it. Although, it's not necessary to use one of these to make smoothies. This one from Ninja works great as well.
• Strainer: Some smoothies are made with fruit that have lots of seeds (I'm lookin' at you blackberries) and I don't like getting them all stuck in my teeth. I use this strainer to get them out.
• Mason jars: I like using mason jars to pour the smoothies in after they are blended. These stainless steel water bottles are great as well because they keep them cold all day.
• Freezer bags: When doing breakfast meal prep, quart-sized freezer bags come in super handy.
