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!

This looks heavenly…. I wounder if my vitamix will do it’s job blending this too much thought :(
Tried this recipe today and it tasted delish! I doubled the ingredients to make a big batch but it came out quite thick so I added some almond milk to mine to make it runnier.
How many carbs are in this delicious drink?
Its amazing. Fills you with energy and full of power to do all day’s hectic tasks.
This smoothie was amazing! I really enjoyed it on this hot day. I plan to make another tomorrow. I did have to add a little coconut milk to get the blender going and used Noosa honey yogurt.
The recipe sounds great. I just have to say that if you were making this is a Vitamix you wouldn’t need to “mush” your banana prior to freezing. I’ll try this recipe in my Vitamix with fresh fruit and ice cubes to freeze it. Thanks for sharing!
I don’t see where you mention the amount of carbs in each smoothie. I’m diabetic, and also need to watch my carbs.

Could you post the nutritional value counts for this smoothie…calories, fat, protein%, etc? Thanks, I had this smoothie this morning and it was amazing :)
Hi Randi – so glad you enjoyed the smoothie! I don’t calculate nutritional information for my recipes but recommend Livestrong’s Recipe Calculator Tool if you want that info. It’s great and really easy to use:

I tried the smoothie. I used plain yoghurt, vanilla extract and strawberries/blueberries and it was absolutely delicious!
I just made this tonight so I can have it tomorrow morning, and my sample of it was really good! Mine turned out more pink/red because my mixed berries had more strawberries and such in it. I also used two little clementines that I had on hand instead of an orange. It takes a while to blend (maybe because my blender is older), but it turns out nice, thick, and tasty!
I would love to give this to my husband!
That might just be the most gorgeous looking smoothie I have ever seen. Immense, definitely making this tomorrow.
