Back to School Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

Thank you to Juicy Juice for partnering with us to bring these delicious breakfast smoothie recipes to help busy families on crazy school day mornings. Recipes and opinions are 100% our own. 

The alarm goes off and you’re pulled from a deep sleep. As you open your eyes, you’re suddenly panicked. “Wait, was that the first alarm?” “Oh no, how many times did I hit snooze?!?”

You jump out of bed and race down the hall, banging on doors and screaming children’s names.  Blurry eyed little ones slowly emerge from the cocoon of their cozy dream filled slumber, but the older kids mumble unkind words while pulling the covers over their heads.

Welcome to the frenzy of most families on school mornings. Now, what’s for breakfast?

When you need a healthy, quick breakfast on the go, breakfast smoothies are the way to go. We've got two different breakfast smoothie recipes that both adults and kids alike will love. A great way to get the energy you need to make it through the day. SunshineandHurricanes.com

The struggle is real when it comes to feeding a family, especially on weekday mornings when everyone is rushing in twelve different directions, often trying to get out the door before the sun is even up.  We’re always looking for short-cuts, but one of them definitely shouldn’t be skipping breakfast.

Typically, our younger ones will demand something for their tummies in the morning, but our tweens and teens are often more than willing to swap eating for an extra few minutes of shut-eye or time in front of the mirror.  It’s not uncommon for 20-30% of tweens and teens to have given up breakfast entirely.

Unfortunately, not only are the teen years a time when kids really need that extra energy due to their overpacked schedules, filled with homework and extra-curricular activities, missing their morning meal can also contribute to binge eating and obesity.

While you may not be able to get them to sit down at the table for a bowl of cereal or eggs in the morning, you will have more success if you hand them a tasty smoothie to go as they head out the door.   Using just a few ingredients, you can have these smoothie recipes ready in a matter of minutes.

Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

Juicy Juice was fun to use in these smoothies, because I remember drinking it when I was a kid. So, there’s always a little nostalgia for me. In addition, they have 16 flavors to choose from, which means you could follow our recipes or create a few of your own.  Juicy Juice is 100% fruit juice with no added sugars, and with 120% of Vitamin C in each 8 oz serving, it gives kids a little extra fighting power against all those back to school germs out there.

    I really don’t like yogurt. Is there a substitute?

      There are all sorts of yogurt alternatives these days made with almond or coconut milk that you might prefer. You could also use frozen bananas or protein powder.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
