7 Breakfast Smoothies That Will Keep You Full Until Lunch

Smoothies are hands-down one of the easiest breakfast options. The stuff mixes by itself while you’re checking your phone or applying mascara, and you get a healthy dose of fruits and veggies from the get-go. Plus, you can also sneak in collagen supplements or protein powder without altering the delicious taste! If you use the right combination of ingredients, your morning smoothie will keep you full until lunch, too.

The best thing about protein shakes is that you can take them with you if you’re in a rush—and no, you don’t need protein powder for a smoothie that keeps you full all morning.

Our favorite morning smoothie blends 1/2 cup of blueberries (for fiber, carbs, and antioxidants), coconut milk (for fat), 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds (for protein and omega-3 fats), a scoop of vanilla protein powder, and a dash of cinnamon to help stabilize blood sugar.
