Starting your day off right can be a challenge, but Jennifer Garner has made it look effortless with her delicious breakfast smoothie. The actress recently shared her recipe on Instagram, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer. Jen's been working closely with holistic nutritionist Kelly LeVeque, so you know this smoothie is packed with goodness. This isn't just any smoothie; it's a nutrient-packed powerhouse that's kept her fueled for months.
Let’s dive into what Jen had to say about her smoothie. "Don’t be scared! It’s tastier than it looks!" she captioned her Instagram video. Here's the backstory: Jen began collaborating with Kelly LeVeque a few months ago to prep for her movie Peppermint. Since then, she's been sipping on this smoothie every morning. One day, when she couldn't find fresh blueberries in her fridge, she got creative. She swapped them out with her favorite cold-pressed, organic purée from Once Upon a Farm. Guess what? It worked like a charm!
View this post on InstagramDon’t be scared! It’s tastier than it looks! I started working with @bewellbykelly a few months ago to get ready for #PEPPERMINTmovie and have had her smoothie every day for breakfast since. Today, I decided to play scientist and see if my @onceuponafarm cold-pressed, organic purée (or baby food, if you’re a baby, but whatever) could be a substitute for fresh blueberries when I didn’t see any in the fridge. Yep, it could. 👏🏼👏🏼 —– #BeWELLSMOOTHIE recipe: 2 scoops @primalkitchenfoods collagen protein powder (hot tip: I prefer the Chocolate Coconut Collagen Fuel) 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed 1 tablespoon chia seeds 1 tablespoon almond butter (if no one’s looking I use extra…😬) 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk Handful of fresh spinach Small handful of ice Very small handful of blueberries (please see almond butter. Also true here. 🤷🏻♀️) —– Mix all ingredients together in blender and enjoy.

Jen's been keeping busy this year, and not just with smoothies. She celebrated her daughter Seraphina's birthday, and guess who made an appearance? That's right, Ben Affleck was there, arriving on his motorcycle. According to a source, "Jennifer hosted a small birthday party for Seraphina at her house late Saturday afternoon. Ben was the first guest to arrive on his motorcycle right as the party was starting. He was in a great mood." Talk about co-parenting goals!
Ben and Jen have three beautiful kids—Seraphina, who turned nine this year, Violet, 12, and Samuel, 5. Ben has always spoken highly of Jen's parenting skills. "Jen is a superhero mom," he said. "She is an amazing mother and I’m really lucky to have her as a partner to co-parent these kids with. We try our best, we put them first and that’s what we do." How sweet is that?
