8 Breakfast Smoothies Ideas For Early Mornings
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the very one that most people tend to jump (me included). Sometimes in the morning, especially if it is early morning, I tend to sleep more and skip breakfast, which is what happens to most of us. When I was a student I would wake up a few minutes before classes started and just have a coffee. Doing this for one year literally shut my body down. Breakfast is important because it breaks the fasting period we experience at night. Your body needs sugar and other essential nutrients to keep your energy level up throughout the day. So, girls, if you are skipping breakfast for whatever reason, stop doing it.
Eating a healthy breakfast will help you to concentrate during the day and will make you feel less tired. There is nothing worse than that terrible feeling you get when you are hungry and counting down the minutes until lunchtime. So, not only will breakfast keep you full until lunch but it also actually gives our brain the energy to focus during our day.
However, I understand that not all of us like to have breakfast first thing in the morning or we might like to sleep more- I love sleeping. So, what is the best way to still have breakfast and sleep more? Smoothies!!
Since we were children we loved drinking smoothies, so why change this now?
Breakfast smoothies are the future! There are so many types and they are so easy to make. My best advice would be to prepare the breakfast smoothies from the night before- I know, I couldn’t be lazier.
But why should we be drinking breakfast smoothies? The fruit that we use to prepare these breakfast smoothies are excellent for helping you maintain a healthy diet. Also, having a smoothie in the morning can prevent your body from dehydration. Organic fruits and veggie are excellent stress busters as well.
Last but not least: smoothies made with spinach, green veggie and citrus will help improve your bone health.
Smoothies full of fruits and veggies during the hot summer are the best choice, keeping you full and your body healthy.
So, we have compiled a list of the best, simplest breakfast smoothies to kick start your day!
Banana Breakfast Smoothie
Probably one of the most known breakfast smoothies, but with a little twist.
Berry Smoothie
Berry and Oat
If you’re okay with a slightly more caloric breakfast, you can add oats to your breakfast smoothies.
Green Smoothie
All green, all healthy. These leafy smoothies contain vegetables with essential vitamins and minerals that aid with digestion!
All Orange Smoothie
Food containing carotenoids, like mango and pumpkin, are really beneficial for your skin complexion.
Apple and Avocado
Strawberry and Kiwi
Vegan Smoothie
Dairy-free with fruits and tofu. This recipe idea is for all you girls that like breakfast smoothies but are on a vegan diet.
So, what I usually do is order the frozen fruit from Tesco or Sainsbury’s. This way I know I can use them whenever I need to and they will have a longer shelf life.
Breakfast smoothies, if made correctly, can really improve your bodily functions, your skin complexion, and your bones. They are packed with vitamins, minerals and are also a great detox.
