Rise & Shine Breakfast Smoothie

October 3, 2009 By Marillyn Beard · | · 19 Comments · | · Affiliate Disclosure

Good morning everybody!! Rise and shine! Don’t you remember your mom telling you that when you were a kid? Mine did and still does every once in a while :o) LOL!

Here’s a delicious and simple smoothie to get you on a good start for the brand new day. I make this whenever there are organic strawberries available, which isn’t often and LOVE it. There is just something wonderful about the combination of mangos and strawberries that I find very addicting! Right now mangos are slowly going out of season and costing more… boohoo! At the farmer’s market yesterday I only saw two stands that had mangos and couldn’t buy my usual 8-10 pounds worth of mangos… oh yeah… I buy a lot! Thankfully I froze several bags worth of mangos for the off season and dehydrated some to make Mango Butter (recipe coming soon!!). Now, I just need to find a consistent source for organic strawberries as they are in season pretty much year around here. I want to grow my own… someday :o)

Now, go make yourself this delicious, creamy smoothie to brighten up your day… anytime of the day!



Rise & Shine Breakfast Smoothie

  • 2 1/2 cups kefir, yogurt or buttermilk
  • 1 whole mango, fresh or frozen
  • 2 handfuls strawberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 or 2 frozen bananas
  • 1-3 Tbsp. raw honey
  • Spoonful of coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly ground flaxseed (optional)
  • Raw egg yolks (optional)
  • Coconut flakes

Pour your choice of cultured dairy into the blender. Add in mango, strawberries, bananas and honey(add flaxseed and/or egg yolks if desired). Give it a whirl till smooth and while it is blending… add coconut oil and let it run for a minute more. Pour into a tall, large glass and top with coconut flakes.



Sit outside in the sun and enjoy your smoothie while getting in your Vitamin D dose for the day! Have a GREAT weekend, y’all!!

    I love that the mangoes in this smoothie represent “Rise and Shine” so much great color! I often have breakfast smoothies in the morning because I find they provide a lot of energy and great nutrition to start the day.

    Can I just add the whole egg? I never use just egg whites.

      Hello Karla, yes you can you the whole egg if you want. I don’t know if you misread the recipe or not, but it does not call for egg whites… only egg yolks. But, again, you can just use the whole egg… my dad does that and there is no slimy texture once blended thoroughly šŸ™‚
