I love my shakes – and while morning time is my most productive time of the day, I don’t want to get distracted from my work to make breakfast. Often, I have another smoothie for lunch, for no other reason than simplicity, so meal prepping morning smoothies in advance is an absolute necessity and I’m surprised I didn’t start doing it sooner.
The only supply you really need to meal prep morning smoothies is 0.5 cup Tupperware storage containers.
I tend to like what I lovingly call chocoberry shakes in the morning and a light vanilla coconut & strawberry lunchtime filler.
But I also include some healthy additives.
Breakfast: Chocoberry Morning Smoothie
Dry ingredients (in container)
- 2 scoops (1 serving) chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 teaspoon flax seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fiber powder
Wet ingredients (grab and go in the AM)
- 1 cup unsweetened
- 1/3 cup shredded kale
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries (frozen is key)
Lunch: Vancoberry Mid Day Guzzle
Dry ingredients (in container)
- 1 serving vital proteins vanilla coconut collagen powder
- 1/2 teaspoon flax seed
- 1/2 teaspoon chia seed
- 1/4 cup raw oats
Wet ingredients (Grab and go)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/2 cup frozen strawberries (frozen is key)
So by meal prepping morning smoothies – essentially just throwing the dry ingredients into their containers on Sunday night, I’ve managed to save myself about 50 minutes in shake making throughout the day during the week, I’ve stored them in the drawer directly under my blender along with my smoothie straws so everything is where I need it when I need it.
