Sunrise Smoothie is a fresh and healthy smoothie recipe to get any morning off to a good start!
Grab your shades (and your appetite!) for a vitamin-packed Sunrise Smoothie!
This tropical-tasting smoothie combines the antioxidant power of frozen berries with a blast of vitamin C from a whole orange, a punch of potassium from a frozen banana, and staying power from protein-packed Greek yogurt.
It tastes like a vacation in a glass, and is the perfect way to wake up.
Clocking in at around 350 calories with 3 grams of fat, 11 grams of fiber, and 14 grams of protein (depending on how big your fruit it, and the yogurt brand you choose) this smoothie is as healthy as it is TOTALLY SUCK WORTHY.
Which is a good thing — when you’re talking about a smoothie anyway. ;)
This thick and frosty smoothie could not be easier to make, either. Start with a high powdered blender — I love my Blendtec.
To the blender jar add 1 cup organic frozen berries, and 1 frozen banana.
- Tip: Always slice yours bananas before freezing — whole, frozen bananas are impossible to blend even with a high powered blender.
Next add 1 peeled orange, plus 4 – 6oz Greek yogurt.
Put the lid on top, press “smoothie”, then let the blender do the work!
30 seconds later – voila! Sunrise Smoothie.
Pour into a cup and slurp on the go, or enjoy while you’re getting ready for the day. Tropical-tasting and perfectly sweet with a perfect, smooth and creamy consistency — it’ll power you way past lunchtime!

Oh, looks so good. Love the pretty color.
Great blender giveaway for the hoiday season! I’d so love to blend up that gorgeous purple smoothie for breakfast. Keeping my fingers crossed! :)
I have a smoothie every morning for breakfast, but am using an old smoothie maker that smells of melted plastic :( Would really <3 to win this prize!
I’ve been making smoothies for a while now, and I need real blender so they are not chunky! I would love to win this thing, and thanks very much for the recipe.
This looks positively divine! Of course there are about a thousand smoothie recipes bouncing around there nowadays – but this one, it actually looks delicious, but more importantly (for me anyways) it is simple!
And that blender, oh baby, what a beaut.
Oh Santa, my blender broke down two years ago….please
Man oh man, do I wish I could win that blender. I always think your give-a-ways are great but this one tops them all!
Looks great! I’ve been making simpler smoothies with just frozen berries & greek yogurt. I’ll have to try your recipe.
This would be my first real premium kitchen appliance! Oh the fun to be had!
YUM! I am in dire need of a new blender and desperately want a Blendtec!
Have to tell you that I made you Chicken Jumbo tonight for dinner. WOW! One of the few recipes that I have made that did not need to tweek to use again. We loved it, thanks!
So glad you enjoyed! :)
oh my goodness! GREAT giveaway! I have been dying for a blendtec, but haven’t had the guts to spend that moola! Your smoothie is beautiful by the way!
How decadent it would feel to have such a fabulous blender!
