Quick Cookies & Creamy Shakeology Breakfasts For Weekday Mornings

Weekday mornings rarely leave much room for cooking. Every recipe here starts with Cookies & Creamy Shakeology and takes 15 minutes or less, from a shake that needs only water and ice to waffles you can stash in the freezer. Pick one that fits the time you have and what’s already in your kitchen.

Each recipe links to the full ingredients and steps.

Recipes at a Glance

Calorie counts come from each recipe card.

Shakes to Blend and Go

All you need is a blender and about five minutes. Pour the shake into a travel cup and take it with you.

Just Cookies & Creamy

On the busiest mornings, keep it simple. Water, ice, and a scoop of Cookies & Creamy Shakeology go into the blender, and you’re done in five minutes with nothing to chop. At 160 calories, it’s the lightest pick on this page. Save the Just Cookies & Creamy Shakeology recipe for days when the fridge is close to empty.

Banana Split Shake

The ice cream parlor banana split inspired this one. Blend vanilla almond milk, a banana, and frozen strawberries with Cookies & Creamy Shakeology, then add peanuts for crunch. It’s a good use for that banana sitting on the counter. Grab the Cookies & Creamy Banana Split Shake recipe, which lists 365 calories and five minutes start to finish.

Cherry Cheesecake Shake

Part-skim ricotta and lemon zest give this shake its cheesecake flavor, and graham crackers stand in for the crust. You blend the frozen cherries separately and layer them over the Cookies & Creamy Shakeology base. That sounds fussy for a Tuesday, but it’s not. The card still puts the total at five minutes, so follow the Cookies & Creamy Cherry Cheesecake Shake recipe and rinse the blender once between layers.

Breakfast Bowls

Grab a spoon for these. The smoothie bowl stays cold, and the oatmeal comes off the stove warm.

Smoothie Bowl

Thicker than a shake, this bowl leaves room for toppings. Blend almond milk, ice, and Cookies & Creamy Shakeology, then finish with banana, fresh strawberries, almonds, cacao nibs, chia seeds, and cinnamon. For a thicker base, the Cookies & Creamy Super Smoothie Bowl recipe suggests more ice or half a cup of frozen cauliflower florets. It takes five minutes and has 339 calories.

Oatmeal

Cold mornings call for something warm. Simmer rolled oats in water, stir in almond milk, Cookies & Creamy Shakeology, and a little vanilla extract, and scatter cacao nibs on top. Breakfast is ready in about 10 minutes, at 362 calories a bowl. According to the Cookies & Creamy High-Protein Oatmeal recipe, a serving has 22 grams of protein.

Waffles to Freeze for Later

Waffles take a little longer and need a waffle iron. Make a batch when you have time and freeze the rest.

Waffles

Pull out the waffle iron when you have 15-20 minutes to spare. The batter mixes Cookies & Creamy Shakeology with baking powder, cinnamon, an egg, almond milk or water, and vanilla and butter extracts, and maple syrup goes on top. Look for butter extract in the baking aisle, as the Cookies & Creamy Shakeology Waffles recipe points out. A serving is 2 waffles at 267 calories. Extras keep in the freezer for up to a month, so a weekend batch can cover a rushed morning later on.

Pick Any Shakeology Flavor

This list is built around Cookies & Creamy Shakeology, and each recipe card calls for it. Most of these breakfasts are flexible, though. Swap in another flavor and you’ll still get good results, so start with the one already in your pantry.
