10 Delicious Breakfast Smoothie Recipes – 2023

The old clichΓ© saying goes – breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Various studies have proven this to be true. We have come up with 10 delicious breakfast smoothie recipes with fruit to help fuel you up for the day ahead.

Is it healthy to have smoothies for breakfast?

Smoothies can make a healthy breakfast that is if you have a fair balance of ingredients and nutrients. This includes protein, carbs, and healthy fats. Smoothies that heavily rely on vegetables over fruit cut down your sugar and increase the fibre content. You also want to avoid adding a lot of fruit juice and sweeteners, like syrups and honey, to limit the sweet stuff. Adding yoghurt helps to make your smoothies more filling, so you will stay fuller for longer.

The liquid bases you use in your smoothie also play a big role. Fruit juices are great however if you want to opt for a healthier, less sweet option, then go for milk or a non-dairy milk alternative, like almond, coconut, or oat milk.

Can I have a breakfast smoothie every day?

If you’re looking to get your own blender to use and start making smoothies at home, you’re already one step ahead with saving yourself money. This way you can control exactly what goes into your smoothies. Enjoying a breakfast smoothie every day is absolutely fine if you make sure it has a good balance of nutrients.
