Sweet, creamy, and packed with protein, this smoothie is SO what you want to wake up to in the morning!
I love breakfast food. Just not… for breakfast. Is that totally weird and stuff? Or are you guys like that too?
I mean, I’ll eat an egg on OR in anything. And cereal ?!? Pfffffft! I need a bowl a day. At least! And don’t even get me started on how much I love me some fraaaaaanch toast. No, really. Don’t get me started!
But in the early am hours the only thing I want most days is to crawl back into bed. And once I realize that’s not happening. COFFEE. Always. But since we’re all real people here, I think we all know that coffee – as miraculous as it is – is not good, proper body fuel. At least not in the long run. This smoothie however, is. It totally is!
And considering you can pulse it up in under two minutes, I say this smoothie is a total win.

I am a breakfast smoothie addict. Never do the bananas-and-honey thing, though, so I think it’s time to try it. I’m going to try making this the night before because, yes, those extra two minutes of sleep DO make all the difference!
I love banana shakes! I’m always trying variations on it because it’s such a versatile drink. Honey and figs sound like an awesome addition. Definitely a must try!
Can’t skip my morning coffee though. 😉
I love that there is almond butter in here…swoon.
This looks SO tasty! And I love how the sweetness is all from natural things.
I could totally go for one of those this morning. It just looks so decadent.
Oooh smoothies are so miraculous!
This sounds like perfection to me! I love the dates…great idea!
Breakfast is my fave! 🙂 This would be a welcome change from my usual dry cereal!
Yum – I sure could use one of these right now!
I love honey and banana, but never thought to combine them together in a smoothie. This sounds killer and I love that you used dates to sweeten things up! Perfect for a healthy snack on the go!
