Easy Berry Smoothie Recipe

As the weather gets warmer, I love a smoothie in the morning! I’ve shared my go to tropical smoothie recipe on here before but this easy berry smoothie recipe takes you back to the basics. I love a quick morning smoothie to get in your fruit for the day on the go!

I will say, this recipe is so easy thanks to my Ninja Blender. You can seriously just throw everything in and set it & forget it. This is such a high powered blender that it truly is amazing in the morning when you need to get out the door quickly.

Smoothie Recipe

1 cup frozen strawberries

1/2 cup frozen blueberries

1 frozen banana

1/3 cup oats

1/2 cup walnuts

oatmilk (I start with about a 1/2 cup and continue to add as needed)

drizzle of honey

2 scoops Vital Proteins collagen (shop here)

Directions

  • Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth. Because of the oats and walnuts, this is a slightly chunkier smoothie so if you’d prefer it smooth, omit them!

What I love most about smoothies is how easy they make it to get your daily nutritional values in. I don’t always reach for a breakfast in the morning or even a fruit so by making this I truly get everything I need in for the day and it’s only like 10am by the time I’m done!

Feel free to add some protein to bulk up this easy berry smoothie recipe! I really just make this for the fruit aspect so I know I’m getting them in each day! If you make this smoothie, let me know in the comments below! You can check out other smoothie recipes here!

Cheesy Jalapeno Bread Recipe

cheesy jalapeno bread recipe

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups bread flour

1 packet active yeast

2 cups warm water

1 tbsp salt

4 cups shredded cheddar cheese

2 large jalapeños diced

1 large jalapeno sliced

Directions:

  1. Start by added your yeast to a bowl an pouring in 2 cups of warm water. Let sit for a few minutes until yeast starts to bubble.
  2. In another bowl, add flour and salt, mix then make a little well in the middle and pour in the yeast/water mixture, diced jalapeno and 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  3. I always start by folding everything over with my spatula and then when it gets too tough I knead very gently with my hands!
  4. Cover with a kitchen towel and let sit for at least 2 hours. I usually let it sit for most of the day.
  5. Take dough out and knead it a few more times then in a clean bowl add oil and a sprinkle of flour. Set the dough back in the bowl and let sit for 1 more hour.
  6. Once you’re ready to bake, put your dutch oven in oven and let it preheat at 450 for 30 minutes.
  7. Take your bread out of it’s bowl, lightly knead it, score it then add more shredded cheese and sliced jalepeno on top to decorate.
  8. Carefully put the bread in the very hot dutch oven and cook covered for 30 minutes. When the timer goes off, cook for 15 more minutes. Sometimes I want the cheese crispier so you can leave it in for an extra 10 minutes if needed.
  9. Enjoy!

I hope you loved this easy bread recipe! It’s become a true hit with my family and I seriously love it! You can just make a regular loaf by omitting the jalpeno and cheese from it! If you liked this cheesy jalapeno bread recipe, check out more recipes here!

My Iced Matcha Recipe!

As I mentioned in my last week’s post, I have been loving this Iced Match Recipe! I look forward to it each and every morning! Matcha is so great for me because it doesn’t leave me anxious and jittery like coffee or chai does so this is a great alternative.

Before you start making matcha, you definitely want a few things on hand to make your life easier! I’ll link my go to matcha essentials below! They’re affiliate links so I do make a small commission if you purchase through me!
