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!

Love this giveaway! And I’m excited to try your Sunrise Smoothie…never added orange! yummy!
looks delicious!
For some reason I refuse to eat oranges, but I love them in things. This would be a great way to use up all the ones that I buy for the kids & hubby.
I have been wanting one of these so bad!
BlendTec is a wonderful kitchen tool! I have seen them in action many times and would love to own my very own!
that smoothy looks so perfect..that purple color…I want one now even thought it is 20 degrees…but always takes me that sun shiny place!
I’m really into protein drinks right now and this would be so awesome….my bullet is nice, but this would be PERFECT!! Thanks for the chance to win.
I really hope I win this one!! I’ve entered a ton of giveaways lately but this is actually something that I NEED and something that I have on my Christmas list for Santa to bring me :) hopefully…
I’m definitely going to try this. I had been making daily smoothies, but for some reason I stopped a couple months ago. This one inspires me to make them again!
My blender has been “retired” for the past few weeks, as it was making a burning smell each time I used it. Hopefully it’s gotten enough of a break because I am dying to try this smoothie, stat!
I love smoothies and this looks yummy.
Thanks for sharing your recipe and for this wonderful giveaway opportunity

Love that you use an orange instead of orange juice with all the sugar! Definitely going to have to make this. To all of those who don’t win, I LOVE my Euro Ninja blender!! 6 blades!!!
Can’t wait to try this!
