Everyday Breakfast Smoothie (vegan & gluten-free)

Published: Mar 8, 2017 Modified: Nov 25, 2022 by Elizabeth · Leave a Comment

A delicious, nutrient-packed everyday breakfast smoothie. It's vegan, gluten-free, energy-boosting and full of leafy greens.

Everyday Breakfast Smoothie (vegan + gf)

One of the questions I get asked most about my vegan diet is: 'What do you have for breakfast?'.

The answer is this Everyday Breakfast Smoothie.

I love a lazy breakfast as much as the next person and will happily spend time making pancakes. Unfortunately, the reality is that most days I don't have time. And frankly, if I'm getting up at 6.30am all I can deal with is something simple.

I drink a green smoothie with protein almost every day and I honestly feel great for doing it. I've been doing it for so long now that it's what my body craves.

Strangely, I feel fuller than when I used to eat porridge for breakfast, and my stomach is no longer rumbling by 10.30am. The protein powder I use is probably responsible for this I really like this unflavoured pumpkin protein powder). Be warned: your smoothie won't fill you up if it doesn't have protein in it!

This Everyday Breakfast Smoothie is a fantastic way to get raw fruit, vegetables and vitamins into your body without feeling like you're crunching down on a stick of celery.

You can also add superfoods to your smoothie for an extra nutrient boost. I like cacao, spirulina, greens, lucuma, maca and goji berries!

INGREDIENT NOTE

I'll be honest: the smoothies I drink each morning are a bit greener and less sweet than this one.

I don't recommend starting with extra-green smoothies if you're used to a sweeter breakfast. You're better off trying this one out and gradually adding more veggies and less fruit over time.

Vegetables are great in smoothies as you don't really taste them when they're blended. They add so many nutrients, plus it's important not to have too much sugar first thing in the morning (you don't want your energy levels to spike and crash).

I've created this recipe so you can use it as a jumping-off point, but feel free to add other ingredients and create your own Everyday Breakfast Smoothie!
