Easy and Delicious Mango Banana Breakfast Smoothies

Try making this easy and delicious mango banana breakfast smoothie when you need a quick meal option.

Mornings around here are a little hairy.

Some days, they are more then a little hairy, and we can count ourselves lucky if we have eaten breakfast before it is time to leave the house. Since we have a fifteen minute drive into town for school and work, there are many mornings when we end up eating the most important meal of the day on the run.

I try to make sure that my boys have a balanced start to the day but it isn’t always easy. These delicious Mango Banana Breakfast Smoothies are not only easy and delicious, but whip together quickly and are completely portable. The perfect hairy-morning-solution!

Recipe for two smoothies: 

– two packages of Carnation Breakfast Essentials in Classic French Vanilla (I bought mine at Walmart)
– two cups of whole milk
– 1 cup of frozen mango chunks
– 1 frozen bananas

The smoothies blend together super quickly. First I add my milk, then the two packages of Carnation Breakfast Essentials, the banana, and the mango. I simply blend it on low-medium speed for about 30 seconds and then on medium-high speed for another 30 seconds to a minute.

Done! This healthy recipe filled two glasses with a little bit to spare.

My boys and I all absolutely loved it! The mix of the banana and mango with the Classic French Vanilla Carnation Breakfast Essentials has some serious yum factor. Plus, I am so thrilled to know that they are starting their day with solid nutrition. Carnation Breakfast Essentials boasts 21 vitamins and minerals, 13 grams of protein, and as much calcium as a 6 ounce cup of yogurt!

We all loved them and will definitely be keeping Carnation Breakfast Essentials on our shopping list now… you can never have too many quick tricks to help you get through those hairy busy mornings! They are a nutritious solution for kids, teens, and adults alike… and you can get them in shakes and bars as well as in the powder form we used. Take a look for Carnation Breakfast Essentials next time you are grocery shopping at your local Walmart!

Want to give them a try?

Pin it to remember it!

If mango banana isn’t your thing, then you have plenty of other options! Carnation Breakfast Essentials come in several different flavours aside from the Classic French Vanilla that I used, such as Rich Milk Chocolate, Classic Chocolate Malt, Dark Chocolate, Strawberry Sensation. Or you can get a variety pack and try all the delicious flavours!! I have a feeling my youngest would be partial to anything chocolate…. There are also tons of other recipe ideas available so that you could make a different version of smoothie every day of the week (or month!!).
