Getting my morning started right with a smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to start your day. Unfortunately, I have fallen off the breakfast bandwagon lately. It’s easy to forgo fixing breakfast and think “One more cup of coffee counts as breakfast, right?” Unfortunately, as yummy as coffee is, it is kind of lacking in the nutrients department. I decided to try a Protein Smoothie….hmmm….

So, I am on a mission to revamp my breakfast routine. This morning, I made a delicious and nutritious smoothie with an extra kick of protein thanks to Burnbrae Naturegg™ Simply Egg Whites™. They are pasteurized so you can add the nutrition of egg whites without worrying about using raw eggs that need to be separated. Instead, just pour out of the carton. Easy peasy! Plus 1/4 cup of Naturegg™ Simply Egg Whites™ adds 7 grams of protein but only 30 calories.

I had no idea that you could use egg whites for this. Plus you can’t taste it AT ALL. It’s a great way to add that needed protein to your breakfast without having to cook eggs for breakfast. Fast, easy, delicious and filling. That sounds like a win to me.

Play around with different fruit combinations to switch things up. I like to keep bags of frozen fruit in the freezer so that I can make a smoothie that matches my tastes for the day.

  3. Hi Merry, Can I verify the ingredients. Is it 1/4 cup of frozen mangoes, or is it just an ingredient I haven’t heard of before.

    Love the site.

  11. Orange-Banana has always been my fave smoothie combo. There are times where I’d go out of my way to find a kiosk that had Orange-Banana as an available drink (not all the big companies have it.) Thanks for the recipe, I can’t wait to try it here (and not have to think about buying it elsewhere.) 🙂

  24. My favourite is yogurt, almond coconut milk, banana & peanut butter. Adding egg white for protein is a good idea.

  58. My favourite smoothie with egg whites is a pumpkin recipe I have. It has canned pumpkin, peanut butter, milk, ice, cinnamon and egg whites. Great energizer to start the day, and simply amazing!

  90. I don’t know if I really have a favourite. I use whatever sounds good at the time. Although I almost always start with hemp hearts and a frozen banana then maybe spinach.
