Breakfast smoothies

A breakfast smoothie is an easy and flavourful way to start the day.

Breakfast smoothies come in all shapes, sizes, and colours, so it is up to you to find the ones that speak to your heart and preference.

Fruits and vegetables are, of course, staples in the breakfast smoothie kitchen. Another popular breakfast option is chia seeds. They help pump up the volume and give smoothies a creamy consistency.

Our blueberry raspberry smoothie is not only beautiful, colourful, and flavourful but also topped with another popular breakfast option: granola. Its crunchy and roasted profile perfectly complements the fresh and sweet berries, making it a top choice for breakfast smoothies.

Questions about breakfast smoothies

If you have any questions about where to begin or how to make the best breakfast smoothie, you have come to the right place. Here, we go through some of the most frequently asked questions to help you best on your way.

Are smoothies good for breakfast?

Smoothies are not just good for breakfast; they are great for breakfast. Who does not like waking up to a cold refreshment created with your favourite ingredients? Smoothies are often made with fresh fruits and berries bursting with colour and flavour – the perfect combination to start your day. They can be adjusted to any liking, so whether you prefer them sweet or tangy, creamy or refreshing, there is always a smoothie recipe that will suit you.

What to eat with a smoothie for breakfast?

If you make a big smoothie, it can easily serve as a meal by itself. But you can also make smaller servings to accompany a breakfast or brunch table with bread, scrambled eggs, omelettes, granola, yoghurt, or whatever else you like to eat for breakfast.

What to put in a breakfast smoothie?

You can put pretty much anything your heart desires in a breakfast smoothie, but we recommend fresh fruits and berries as your flavour base. Everything from banana, kiwi, and pineapple to strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries will give you a refreshing start to the day. You can also add chia seeds, oats, or granola for a heartier version, and you can aim for a specific colour by picking, for example, blackberries for purple, mango for orange, or spinach for green.

How much smoothie should I drink for breakfast?

A small glass of smoothie will do if you enjoy it as part of a larger breakfast serving. You can also make a big glass or a smoothie bowl with delicious toppings if you want the smoothie to stand alone for breakfast.
