Start your day with a healthy, filling morning smoothie.
Healthy Morning Smoothies
Admit it: Oversleeping happens. But having a time-crunched, frazzled morning doesn't mean you should skimp out on breakfast. "It's so important to have a good source of protein in the morning—like low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, or soy milk—to help keep you full and satisfied," says Shoshana Werber, R.D. Luckily, these seven healthy morning smoothies pack enough protein punch that you can slurp them down knowing you're doing good for your body—now and later.

"Adding a healthy fat like nuts or nut butters is a good way to add flavor and keep you satiated for longer," Werber says. So if you tend to feel hungry soon after a smoothie, try a morning protein smoothie like this one. You can use hazelnut butter or peanut butter for this recipe.
Orange Protein Smoothie
"Greek yogurt is a great way to add a creamy texture, plus protein, calcium, potassium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12," Werber says. "But avoid yogurts with added sugars and fruit on the bottom."
Happy Digestion Smoothie
Everyone's favorite fruit gives this morning green smoothie its color. "Avocados add a smooth, creamy texture and healthy fat source to smoothies," Werber says. "This is a good option for people who are allergic to nuts or seeds."
