Need a quick and healthy breakfast to jump start your day? Freezer Fruit and Yogurt Smoothies will have you energized and ready to tackle the day.

The start of a new year is synonymous with making resolutions. Join a gym to exercise more, volunteer with a local charity, or resolve to eat a healthier diet are common choices when the calendar flips to January. When thinking about how to make yourself a better you, try prepping fruit and yogurt for freezer smoothies in advance for a quick and easy healthy breakfast option in the morning.

Most mornings I am a little blurry eyed. It’s best if I don’t make any major decisions as it takes me a while to wake up. I’d love to linger over breakfast and make a  Blueberry Bread Pudding Pancakes but, I am usually out the door to cook for one of my personal chef clients.

Smoothies are one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. When I am in a rush, chopping and measuring out the ingredients first thing in the morning are just not in my schedule. After some trial and error, I developed the easy alternative of Freezer Smoothies with Fruit and Yogurt.

chef tips for making freezer smoothies from scratch

  • Fill resealable plastic with chopped fresh fruits and fiber-filled flax meal and tuck in the freezer. Try peaches, plums, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, apples and/or pears.
  • When breakfast time rolls around, a minimal amount of work needs to be completed before I am enjoying a delicious smoothie. Into a blender goes the smoothie freezer pack, yogurt (either plain or fruit flavored), and your choice of juice or a variety or milks. Almond, coconut or cow’s milk are delicious options.
  • Use whatever fruits and vegetables are in season and fresh throughout the year for a variety of economical possibilities. Get creative and include canned pumpkin, avocado, or a couple tablespoons of almond or peanut butter.
  • Fresh fruit, yogurt, orange juice and flax meal all go into the smoothies
  • Fruit can be kept in the freezer for up to 2 months

The packs for the freezer smoothies keep for up to 2 months in the freezer. Therefore you can always be some on hand. I usually make about a half dozen at a time and use whatever fruit I have on hand. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, bananas, apples, cantaloupe and pineapple are all delicious choices.

If you make this recipe for freezer smoothies, I’d love hearing from you all. Be sure to leave a comment and/or give this recipe a rating ~ I do my best to reply to all your comments. And snap a photo to post to Instagram. I’ll add the photos to my Insta stories as I love seeing all your creations.
