Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to make a quick breakfast or snack with just a few simple ingredients. They come together in minutes, and with the right combination, they can be both fresh and filling.

This small collection includes three of my favorite smoothie recipes that I make on a regular basis. Each one is simple, uses everyday ingredients, and has a slightly different flavor and texture. Whether you want something fruity, creamy, or a little more substantial, there’s an option here that fits.

All three of these smoothies follow the same basic idea. A combination of fruit, liquid, and a few added ingredients to give them more staying power. I often include oats because they blend easily and help make a smoothie more filling without adding much effort. Using frozen fruit is another simple step that makes a big difference. It creates a thicker texture and keeps the flavor from being watered down. Here are the three smoothies included in this collection. Each one is easy to make and can be adjusted based on what you have on hand.
Strawberry Banana Smoothie

This delicious breakfast idea is light, fruity, and incredibly easy to make. It has a fresh flavor with just the right amount of sweetness, and it comes together in minutes with simple ingredients. Get the full recipe for this strawberry banana smoothie and see how easy it is to keep this one on repeat.
Citrus Smoothie

This citrus smoothie combines orange and pineapple for a bright, refreshing flavor, with oats and almond butter to make it more filling. It’s a great option when you want something that feels fresh but still has enough substance to keep you going.
Banana Oatmeal Smoothie

This banana oatmeal smoothie is very creamy, and especially satisfying. The oats give it a hearty texture, while the banana and vanilla keep the flavor simple and classic. It’s also one of the most popular smoothie recipes on my site, and for good reason. This is an easy option for breakfast or a quick meal.

Ann, your smoothie recipes look so delicious! I’m going to try a few of them. Thanks for sharing with us.
I use Simply Tera’s pure whey protein. It has 22g of protein, 1g of sugar, rBGH free in the plain unsweetened. It’s great in smoothies and I’ve been using it for 3 years now. They have other flavors as well.
Thanks for sharing Ann.
Both sound delicious!
Ann – Thanks for the great recipes for smoothies. I believe you have inspired me to give a couple of these a whirl. Can you recommend some protein powder that tastes good (I know, right?) and isn’t filled with sugar to make it taste good. Would be very interested in your take. Thanks.
I’m not Ann, but I have a favorite! :-)
http://www.ilikechike.com sells meal replacement protein powder that you can use by yourself OR in a smoothie in VANILLA, STRAWBERRY, CHOCOLATE (my favorite) or BANANA. . . It’s amazing!
I use it, my sister uses it & my 96 year old Papaw uses it along with the frozen fruit like Ann mentions above. SO good! :-)
Thanks Deborah…I don’t really use protein powder, so I was stumped as to what to recommend!
Hi Penny…I really can’t, because I don’t use it. Another reader left a comment with this link: http://www.ilikechike.com/ I hope this helps!
I love new smoothie recipes. Smoothies are about the only way I can eat what I know to be healthy bananas, since the texture, by itself, is not pleasant to me. Thanks for posting your favorite recipes.
Ann, thank you so much for these recipes! I can’t wait to try all three. I enjoy your posts and appreciate all that you do!
Thanks Ann! These look delicious!
