My Morning Meal Smoothie

As you all know, I’m a big proponent of starting your day off right and making the most of your mornings. I’m always up bright and early, and one of my favorite things to do to kick-start my morning and fill me up for breakfast is to mix up a Be Well Smoothie, courtesy of my nutritionist extraordinaire, Be Well By Kelly. (Not to mention, we just released some pretty great coasters TODAY to serve it up on… Check them out here.) It’s so important to me to fuel my body with the right ingredients in the morning to keep my energy up for the workday, and this recipe does just that. Not only is it packed full of powerhouse ingredients, but it tastes delicious, so drinking up is never a chore!



Basically, this smoothie is a part of my morning routine I look forward to every single day, and I have to say, it looks twice as enticing served on our brand new coasters and large trays. ;)



As a rule of thumb, Kelly’s Be Well Smoothie recipes consist of a few major ingredients, including things like protein, fiber, healthy fats, greens, and fruit. (Get the full _#BeWellSmoothie_ breakdown here!) With that said, there are so many incredible recipes to try from Kelly that will jam-pack your morning with the right energy sources, but today I’m sharing my absolute fave and daily go-to recipe below.

## **WHAT YOU’LL NEED…**

**Protein:**

- 2 scoops Collagen Peptide Powder
- 2 scoops Teras Whey Bourbon Vanilla Powder
- 2 Cups Almond Milk

**Fat:**

- 1 Tbsp Natural Almond Butter
- 1 Tbsp Coconut XCT Oil

**Fiber:**

- ½ Cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1 Cup fresh or frozen chopped spinach
- 1 Tbsp organic flax/chia blend

**Optional:** If you want it to turn out a bit creamier, feel free to add ½ to 1 whole banana to your smoothie blend.



## **GET BLENDING**

The next step is to simply add all ingredients to your blender, and watch it come together! I always blend these ingredients in my Vitamix (which I highly recommend, by the way) and it makes this process a cinch each morning. Simply start by pouring in the liquid ingredients, followed by adding your powders, then fruit, then greens. **Helpful hint:** Adding your ingredients in this order before you blend ensures that all the ingredients get mixed together evenly and thoroughly! Top with ice (if you’d like) before you start up your blender, then blend away.





Easy as that. Do you have a favorite morning smoothie you whip up each day?

I can promise that if you try this recipe, it won’t disappoint! I have felt so energized and sufficiently full each morning since I’ve started drinking this smoothie daily, and I am confident that it is a routine I will keep up for a long, long time.

Before you try your hand at this recipe, don’t forget to pick up our brand new coasters and one of our new large trays to make your mornings more stylish than ever… Shop them here and here.
