Most people will appreciate starting a new day with a delicious breakfast smoothie. Mornings can be busy, so breakfast smoothies are a good choice that will save you time and still offer a satisfying start to your day. Breakfast smoothies tend to be fruity, hearty, and fresh. They often contain fruits and vegetables, but they also use ingredients we tend to find on the breakfast table. Oats play a big part in pumping up the volume of a smoothie, making it heartier and creamier, while fruits and veggies contribute sweet and refreshing flavours.
