Another breakfast recipe. This time: smoothies.
Smoothies are easy & quick to prepare and full of vitamins, minerals & anti-oxidants.
If you don’t have time in the morning to prepare an egg breakfast, try smoothies.
Ingredients for the Berry & Broccoli Smoothie
- 2 scoops Optimum Nutrition ON Gold Standard 100% Whey
- 1 cup Frozen Broccoli (250g)
- 1 cup Frozen Berries (250g)
- 1 apple
- 750ml water
- 1 tablespoon Flax Seed
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (Extra virgin, cold pressing)
- Blender
The Blender. Frozen veggies & fruits are hard to crush. Cheap blenders will break. By investing in a solid blender, you’ll avoid buying a new one after some weeks.
I recommend the Oster 6684 12-Speed Blender from Amazon.com

- Big capacity jar
- Does not split liquids
- 12 blending speeds
- Easy to clean

how does this taste?
I can’t see broccoli and berries being very palatable
Why so much fat? I thought we are supposed to keep the fat low for breakfast (and the fiber and protein high, as this is).
thanks for another recipe, not much of a brocolli fan, but i might surprise myself and enjoy this. going to try some of your others first though, i need something other than cereal to get me going in the morning. also, just as a catchup, the wrist’s better, and after a little training, went and my max was up, so, the few days off didn’t hurt.
Taste is subjective. To me it tastes great. You’ll taste the whey more than the broccolli actually.
Just try it. I think you’ll like it.
RZ,
I’m on the Anabolic Diet. I eat high amounts of fat & no carbs during the week.
If you’re on a high/medium carbs diet, this might be too much fat. Olive oil is 15g fat per tablespoon. Remove one tablespoon & you’ll have 25g of fat at breakfast.
It all comes down to personal preferences. Great question RZ.
Just tried it today.
Looks terrible. Taste terrible (may be ’cause my whey is vanilla-flavored).
But incredible healthy …
Andy,
What brand of whey are you using? Like I wrote above, most of the taste comes from the Whey. The quality of the whey you’re using will influence the end result (I use vanilla flavor too btw).
The olive oil will also influence the taste. Go for extra virgin, cold pressing. It’s more expensive, but tastes totally different for that reason.
If it still tastes bad, maybe you just need to get used to it
Thanks for sharing Andy.
BTW I was so exited form this receipt yesterday , I even bought bottle of cold pressed olive oil and flax oil (russian brand “ljnjanoe maslo”).
And Whey Brand is “Sport Pharma” Vanilla. I am not sure if I can handle this breakfast with chocolate Sport Pharma
Also , Broccoli and berries was fresh , not frozen
Andy,
This is the problem with recipes. When the ingredients change, so does the end result.
The difference in taste could be caused by using different brands (whey) or different ingredients (fresh vs frozen veggies). Or it could just be a difference in taste
Would be good if other reader posts their experience.
Anyway, thanks for sharing yours Andy.
Yeah I’ll agree with Andy on this one, I used the same whey cept I used frozen veggies, I only added a few drops of olive oil tho, and it tasted horrible, but it felt healthy, felt good after drinking it.
Well we can’t discuss taste Kyle
Tried this yday and today…Used OnWhey Chocolate flavor with strawberries….The Whey and Strawberries completely masked the brocolli….It was YUMMY and all done and ready in like 5 minutes…
Bye Bye Jamba Juice!
