Need a quick and healthy breakfast to jump start your day? Freezer Smoothies with Fruit and Yogurt 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 batch of Blueberry Bread Pudding Pancakes.
Smoothies are one of my favorite healthy breakfasts. When I'm 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.

expert tips
- 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.
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.
