When oatmeal isn’t cutting it, but the thought of living without a super-filling breakfast is just crazy, meet your new day-starter. Your bowl of oats topped with blueberries and hazelnuts transforms into sweet-nutty richness in liquid form. We might add a tablespoon of cacao powder. Nutella, anyone?1 cup almond milk 1 cup blueberries 1 banana 1 tablespoon hazelnuts 1/4 cup rolled oats
3. Orange You Glad It’s Not Green

Leave the store-bought OJ on the shelves and opt for the juicy oranges in the produce aisle instead. A minute in a blender will recreate a healthier version of Orange Julius’s classic shake. If your blender is older than you, buy two oranges and squeeze out the juice for a smoother, less pulpy consistency.1 cup almond milk 1 cup frozen mango 1 orange 1 banana 1 date
4. Strawberry Sunrise

Strawberries and bananas are the most obvious smoothie ingredients, but they get taken to the next level with sweet-as-candy goji berries and crispy coconut flakes. Remember strawberry milk as a kid? Yeah, you’re welcome. 1 cup almond milk 1/2 banana 1 cup strawberries 2 tablespoons goji berries 3 tablespoons coconut flakes
5. Peanut Butter and Jelly
Share on Pinterest
Get creative with that daily spoonful of peanut butter you dive into every day and add it to your smoothie instead (or do both). The tart raspberries give it that jelly-like taste, and when you add the PB, you’re immediately brought back to the middle-school lunch table. 1 cup almond milk 2 tablespoons peanut butter 1 banana 1/2 cup raspberries 2 dates
