Every single morning I have 2 cups of coffee around 6am, and they keep me full for a couple of hours. Then at 9:30 I have a smoothie. A delicious, filling low-calorie smoothie that I look forward to every day. At only 185 calories it doesn’t blow my whole calorie budget for the day either.
Pre-Workout Smoothie
If you find yourself feeling extra fatigued during and after exercise, try this smoothie for added energy and stamina.

Low-Calorie Breakfast Smoothie
Ingredients
- ½ inch nub ginger
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 TB oat fiber
- 1 TB cacao powder (or unsweetened cocoa powder)
- 10 drops EZ Sweetz (or other liquid sucralose)
- ¼ cup plain, non fat Greek yogurt
- ½ cup frozen banana slices
- ½ cup frozen blueberries
- 2 cups baby spinach (tightly packed)
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup ice
Equipment
Instructions
- Place the ingredients in the blender in the order given and blend on High until nice and smooth. Pour into a 30 ounce glass and enjoy with a straw!
Notes
You can also try adding 1 teaspoon of PB2 Pure peanut powder (10 calories) – it combines well with the cacao powder.
I use a Vitamix for this recipe, and it does a great job, but if you don’t have one a regular blender will do. You’ll just need to either finely mince the ginger first or purchase pre-prepped ginger and squeeze that in.
