🌸 Breakfast Power Shake: Energy & Beauty Boost in 3 Minutes
Functional Nutrients & Smart Supplements by Mijung
INTROduction: THE MORNINGS WE ALL KNOW
Your alarm goes off, you hit snooze, and suddenly there’s just enough time to wash your face, put on makeup, and rush out the door. Breakfast gets skipped, but your stomach is already growling. That’s when my breakfast power shake saves the day — a 3-minute blend that’s naturally sweet from ripe banana, creamy with frozen fruit, and designed to give you steady energy and a beauty boost all morning long.
Unlike most smoothie recipes, this one has no added sugar. It’s a functional power and beauty shake made with ripe banana for natural sweetness, frozen fruit for creaminess, and skin-supporting add-ins like cucumber, collagen, and biotin. The banana makes it taste rich and satisfying, while frozen fruit keeps it cold and refreshing in seconds. It’s fast, filling, and beauty-friendly — made for busy mornings when you need to look and feel your best.
WHY THIS SHAKE STANDS OUT as breakfast power shake
Most shakes are either loaded with sugar or taste chalky. This one is different — it’s a functional breakfast power shake that gives you the best of both worlds: lasting energy and visible beauty benefits in every glass.
✨ Energy You Can Count On
Ripe banana for natural sweetness (very ripe banana – no sugar needed).
Protein + fiber from chia or flax to keep you full until lunch.
Frozen fruit for antioxidants and refreshing flavor.
🌸 Beauty Boost from the Inside Out
Cucumber hydrates and reduces puffiness, the same way it does when used on your skin.
Collagen supports elasticity and smoothness (Harvard Health).
Biotin nourishes hair, skin, and nails (Cleveland Clinic).
And the best part? It actually tastes good — sweet, creamy, and cold, not chalky like many “health drinks.” This is a shake you’ll want every morning, not just once in a while
THE REAL PREP HACK: FROZEN FRUIT
The reason I can make this shake every morning is because I always keep fruit frozen.
Sometimes I buy frozen blueberries, strawberries, or apricots.
Other times, I wash fresh fruit, cut it, and freeze it myself.
Using frozen fruit makes all the difference. It saves time — no chopping or peeling when you’re rushing in the morning — and it keeps the shake naturally cold and creamy without watering it down. Unlike ice, which melts and dilutes flavor, frozen fruit keeps the shake thick, concentrated, and full of nutrients. The result? A shake that tastes richer, holds its flavor, and delivers more of the goodness your body and skin need.
👉 That’s the real hack: prep once, keep it frozen, and enjoy a better-tasting, more nourishing breakfast in 3 minutes.
🥤 SAMUEL’S POWER ENERGY SHAKE
Ingredients (1 serving)
1 very ripe banana. Use a banana that’s very ripe — the darker the spots, the sweeter your shake will taste, without any added sugar.
1 cup frozen fruit (blueberry, strawberry, or apricot)
1 cup milk, almond milk, soy milk, or coconut water
1 scoop protein powder — Orgain Organic Vegan Protein Powder
1 Tbsp chia or flax seeds — Viva Naturals Organic Chia Seeds 2 LB | Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Brown Flax Seeds
👉 All ingredients are put into the blender – blend and you are done.
Recommended blender: Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 Oz. Container
Why It Works
This functional version is the one I prepare for Samuel each morning. It’s quick, satisfying, and provides steady fuel until lunch. The balance of protein and fiber keeps energy stable, while the frozen fruit adds antioxidants and natural flavor — all without added sugar.
Endless variety: from berry to cucumber, this shake adapts to your morning mood and needs
🌸 MIJUNG’S BEAUTY BOOST SHAKE
Ingredients (1 serving)
Same base recipe as above
1 scoop collagen powder — Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder
1 biotin capsule (opened and added in) — Carlyle Biotin 10000 mcg
½ cup cucumber slices (hydration + puffiness control) — also see our blog: Transform Your Skin with $1 Natural Cucumber Skincare
All ingredients are put into the blender – blend and you’re done.
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 Oz. Container
Why It Works
My version comes with a beauty twist. Cucumber is the hidden star: applied to the skin it reduces puffiness, and when blended it hydrates and calms from the inside out. To that base I add collagen for elasticity and biotin for hair and nail strength. Combined, these create the true beauty anchors of my shake.
👉 Pro Tip: underripe bananas are starchier and less sweet. A very ripe, spotty banana not only blends smoother but also replaces the need for sugar or sweeteners.
THE final TAKEAWAY - breakfast power shake
Whether you make Samuel’s Power Energy Shake or my Beauty Boost Shake, you’ll have a quick, great-tasting breakfast that fuels your body and supports your skin.
✨ Three minutes, no added sugar, and a beauty ritual in a glass.
With love and care,
