Morning Shake Recipes

I blend my morning shake with my powerful and extremely loud Ninja blender. Seriously, I plug my ears when I run it, and my daughter runs away. It came with two smoothie cups, so I make two at a time when I meal prep. I add everything except the frozen ingredients, give it a quick shake, and put them in the fridge until I'm ready to blend.

Your smoothie or shake should taste great and fuel your morning. Whether or not you drink Shakeology, follow timed nutrition or other Beachbody plans, you can try some of my favorites to keep your taste buds happy.

I loosely measure liquids and veggies, but I'm more precise when measuring the others. I use containers that came with 80 Day Obsession. I add items in the order shown so the dry ingredients don't stick to the cup.

  • Water
  • Unsweetened flax milk (dairy isle)
  • Unsweetened coconut milk (dairy isle)
  • I add extra water if it seems too thick
One scoop of high-quality protein
  • Whey Vanilla, Chocolate, Cafe Latte, Strawberry or Greenberry Shakeology
  • Vegan Vanilla, Chocolate, Cafe Latte, or Tropical Strawberry Shakeology
  • Or Vegan Pumpkin Spice if you're one of the lucky ones who ordered before they sold out!
