Breakfast Smoothie Recipes

Have you ever tried a fruit smoothie recipe for your breakfast? If not, you don’t know what you are missing out on!

Many people automatically reach for a cup of tea or a strong coffee first thing in the morning, followed by a greasy breakfast of some sort. However, just once, try making a fruit smoothie recipe for your breakfast and you will be amazed at how full and also how alert you will feel. Not only that, you are contributing to your 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day, all in one smoothie.

Some people say that eating fruit by itself can be a little boring, especially if you are on a diet or trying to make a difference to your daily diet. So by making a homemade smoothie it makes that boring banana turn into something tasty, something healthy and something you will want to make again and again.

If you have never made a smoothie before, then all you need to do is have a look through the hundreds of free smoothie recipes here on flowercarole. Buy the ingredients for the one you like the sound of, follow the blending instructions and then pour your healthy smoothie out – and enjoy it!

Here are a couple of breakfast smoothie recipes I would recommend for those new to smoothies:

1. Banana and cinnamon smoothie

2. Berry brazzle smoothie

3. Pineapple and banana smoothie

4. Mango squeeze smoothie

5. Bright morning smoothie
