10 Morning Smoothie Recipes to Start Your Day Off Right

Everyone needs more morning smoothie recipes. Try these recipes to find more healthy and delicious ways to start your day off right.

Everyone needs more morning smoothie recipes. The standard mix of protein powder, milk, and some random fruit gets old real quick so you need some variety to be able to stick to this healthy way of breakfast. Like you should since smoothies are a great way to start your morning off but you can play with the dose of fruits, veggies, and proteins you use to spice things up. Here are 10 morning smoothie recipes that will get your day going.

1. Avocado Banana Smoothie

This surprisingly simple recipe only has three ingredients: an avocado, a banana, and a splash of almond milk. This smoothie is creamy, smooth, and will fill you up quick. Avocados are a great source of healthy fats and the source of creaminess for this smoothie while the banana gives this drink a natural source of sweetness so you don’t need to add any sugar. Make the blending process easier with a splash of almond milk so the smoothie isn’t chunky or too thick.

2. Blueberry Banana Smoothie

If the standard strawberry and banana smoothie has gotten old, try this blueberry alternative to mix it up. The blueberries add more tartness to the drink than the original strawberries so your tongue will be kept very interested. Just be sure to add some natural sweeteners like liquid stevia or agave nectar because blueberries can be finicky and too tart when they’re not in season.

3. Detox Smoothie

Did you have too much to drink last night or went too hard on the fast food and grease for dinner? Your body probably feels awful about the food choices that you made the night before. But don’t worry, you’ll be back to normal soon with this detox smoothie. The greens in this smoothie will give you the nutrients you need to feel better while the bitter kale and sting from the ginger will help wake you up and keep you alert.

Make this smoothie for those days when that nasty cold has gotten the better of you and you just want to feel more like yourself again! This smoothie filled with oranges, carrots, and mango will not only brighten up your day when you’re under the weather but it has a great amount of vitamins and nutrients you need to fight back that cold. Not to mention, the ginger will give you a nice kick to get you going.

5. Purple Smoothie

Is purple your favorite color? Start your day off with a nice amount of color from this purple smoothie made of red beets and blueberries. Beets may sound like an odd ingredient in a smoothie but there are a lot of research supporting the nutritional value of beets. So give it a try in your smoothie, especially with this recipe. The mint, lime, and possible substitute of coconut water makes this drink a refreshing and zesty start to your day.
