Now that school is back in session, I find myself looking for a healthy, quick, easy breakfast. One that will keep me satisfied and full until mid-morning, and is a complete, balanced meal. Does this sound like you? Are your mornings hectic with getting kids off to school or getting yourself up and out the door to work without time to make a healthy breakfast like eggs, turkey bacon, and whole grain toast?

If so, I’ve got your back! I’ve been mixing up different ingredients in my favorite blender, the Ninja Professional Blender 1000, and have created some amazing delicious breakfast smoothies for you.

Note: If you don’t have a blender you love, you might want to check this one out. It rivals the Vitamix at one-fifth the cost and is on sale at Amazon right now for less than $80! Click on this link, Ninja Professonal Blender 1000, to check it out and purchase.

Back to smoothies –  Now you may be saying to yourself right now, “But I don’t eat breakfast. Is it important to eat breakfast? I’m not hungry until noon.” The answer to that question is a resounding YES. It is very important to eat a healthy breakfast and here are 6 reasons why:

1. The word “breakfast” actually means “to break the fast”. Meaning we need to break the fast from sleeping when we’re not eating for 8 or more hours.
2. Eating breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism and gets your energy going for the day
3. Studies have shown that people who eat a low-glycemic breakfast eat 80% less calories for the day. Wow, that’s a lot!
4. Eating a healthy breakfast helps with cognitive abilities, behavior, and performance in children.
5. Eating a low-glycemic breakfast helps to decrease the risk of obesity and helps with weight management.
6. You won’t need that energy pick-me-up at 10am in the morning that can be full of sugar and very inflammatory to your body.

I make a smoothie for breakfast almost every day. They are low-glycemic so I won’t spike my blood sugar, easy to make, delicious and I know I am starting my day off with something healthy. If this sounds like something that will help you jumpstart your day off right, I’ve even created a video on how to make my favorite smoothie, Carrot Cake Smoothie! (Carrot cake is my favorite dessert!) I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

I have a surprise for you at the end of the video! You are gonna love it!

But if carrot cake isn’t your favorite dessert, I have a surprise for YOU!
