Everyone knows we are supposed to consume three meals a day and that breakfast is arguably the most crucial meal of the day. However who has time nowadays to whip bacon and eggs with toast? Stopping for a breakfast at the fast food place is not quite what nutritionists have in mind. While a great breakfast gets you going with vitamins, minerals plus some energy to fuel you until lunch, breakfast is easily the most missed meal in america. Coffee does not count and adding a donut or sweet roll and calling it breakfast is simply a sugar crash waiting to happen. The banana smoothie might be the right answer. You can fill all the nutrients you need into the blender and get breakfast ready inside five minutes. Not only does it fill you up, but the intrepid banana smoothie does a good job job on the nutrition scorecard. Allow me to share several variants on this delicious meal to get you started.

The only must-have ingredient is the banana. Whatever else you want to toss in there is up to you and your taste buds. One banana offers plenty of fiber, which most of us do not get an adequate amount of, and also potassium, which is easily lost through sweat on a hot summer’s day. So that’s a nice beginning.

Bananas have a sweet but neutral taste making your other possible smoothie ingredients a big list of variables. Peach, orange, mango and strawberry-banana juices are full of vitamins A and C, antioxidants and good for your skin. Now your banana smoothie is becoming powerful. Some juice brands add calcium and vitamin D. Better still.

For a really creamy banana smoothie, you’ll find nothing like a scoop of ice cream or yogurt. Much more calcium, in the case of ice cream. Calcium is useful for building and preserving strong bones. Here is where you can use natural yogurt as a milk alternative. Natural yogurt contains large amounts of acidophilus and vitamin K. Those two nutrients help digestion and preserve a very good balance of the flora and fauna you may need within the digestive system. Women will enjoy the huge benefits in avoiding yeast infections, while those who are lactose intolerant can have the creamy taste without the lactose.

Fresh and canned fruit are other delectable enhancements to your breakfast-in-a-glass. Add a few ice cubes or shaved ice to get your breakfast banana smoothie to perfection.
