This easy breakfast recipe uses raspberries, strawberries, almond milk, Greek yogurt, and Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder to make the prettiest, tastiest smoothie bowl! 

Helllloooo, breakfast.

If I wasn’t already such a breakfast person, this pretty in pink smoothie bowl would totally make me a breakfast believer.

But, this little smoothie bowl is not just a pretty face. Oh no, this here smoothie bowl is packed with nutrition, including a little something extra from a secret ingredient.

I know, I know—secrets don’t make friends and all, but I’m going to leave you hanging here for a hot minute while I fill you in on two other details:

1. This bowl takes less than 5 minutes to make.

2. It has less than 300 calories.

Breakfast has never been sweeter.

Oh, and that little secret ingredient? Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder.

Back in high school during soccer season, I had my morning routine down to a science. I was so exhausted in the mornings that I managed to get everything done in 40 minutes so I could squeeze in an extra 20 to 25 minutes of sleep.

I’m going to be real with you here. Those 20ish minutes were the difference between looking like a normal 16 year old and looking like something straight out of the Walking Dead.  

In order to spare myself and others, I could get myself ready, get everything together for school and soccer, pack a lunch, and enjoy breakfast in 40ish minutes. Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder and Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Ready-to-Drink Bottles were my saving grace during the season because they were super tasty and so easy to take on-the-go if I was running behind (which was pretty much all the time).

In college, I had a similar breakfast routine. Between work and classes, my mornings were typically packed (although I managed to get three day weekends 6 out of the 8 semesters—gah, I miss those days).

Now-a-days, my mornings are more relaxed, which is a huge blessing. It is my time to fully wake up, plan for the day ahead, and enjoy the quiet stillness of the morning. Even though it is a more relaxed routine, I still enjoy being able to put together a delicious breakfast in just a few minutes. Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Powder makes it easy to put together a fun breakfast (like this smoothie bowl!) that tastes amazing and takes only minutes to make.

Let’s get this breakfast party started.
