You will need – A few pieces of coconut, ½ cup papaya, 2 tablespoons of goji berries, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, half a frozen banana, 2 seedless dates. Make sure to soak your goji berries & chia seeds prior to making the smoothie for them to blend and mix better in it.
 
Protein high smoothies can be great for weight loss, if that is your purpose. Make sure that the calories would be low in the smoothie, and you are good to go. These are great for breakfasts because they are so hearty and will keep you filled for hours. You can even make these the night prior and keep them in the refrigerator so that you will be good the next morning.
 
Those were some of the best smoothie combos I have had, and I love each one of them. They are my go-to breakfast when I need something quick and easy to make in the mornings. Acai bowls also make an amazing & quick breakfast when you’re on the go. Another easy way to whip up a smoothie is by blending together yogurt and fruit of your choice. It is relatively healthy and won’t take too long to make.
