Smoothies for breakfast: highly efficient. They supply you with a wide variety of food groups and nutrients to start your day. They’re easy to make, especially when you have a powerful blender. They travel well. And they are Gemini-like—smoothies can go many ways flavorwise. Pick your ideal combo from our hits.

OUR FAVORITE SMOOTHIES

ADD-INS THAT UP THE ANTE


  1. goop Wellness Metabolism-Boosting Superpowder goop, $55

    Eating nutrient-dense foods (like the ones in these smoothie recipes) is a fantastic way to support a healthy metabolism. And when you need a little extra help, this metabolism-boosting superpowder can do the trick. This key ingredient in this powder is the clinically studied 7-Keto® DHEA, which is effective, albeit a little bitter. That’s why we added organic cocoa powder to the formula to give it a rich chocolate vibe.*

    Our purposely flavorless Gut Microbiome Superpowder is the most versatile booster on our list—we’re even happy having it straight in water. It’s formulated with a clinically studied dose of probiotics (which provide everyday gut support and help alleviate occasional digestive upset), prebiotics (fuel for healthy bacteria in the gut), digestive enzymes (to aid in the digestion of macronutrients), L-glutamine, and aloe juice concentrate (traditionally used for its soothing effects). Its chameleon-like versatility comes in handy as this supplement works best when taken routinely. You can add it to any smoothie, so even though you’re keeping it regular, it’s never boring.*

    Formulated with adaptogens like reishi and ashwagandha to promote relaxation. If that doesn’t lull you into a state of calm, the warm and soothing spice blend may.*

    An easy way to get a little extra energy and stay hydrated: Add this to a matcha smoothie to double down on that earthy flavor while adding some electrolytes and a good punch of sweetness from the monk fruit (miraculously there is no weird aftertaste, huzzah!).


  5. GOLDE Original Turmeric Latte Blend goop, $29

    We think there’s big potential for a smoothie-latte hybrid here. The turmeric—which is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine to promote overall balance, well-being, and a healthy immune system—and coconut milk powder would be excellent additions to so many smoothies.

    Our favorite honey. Sweet, intensely floral, and herbaceous. It’s a certified by the UMF Honey Association to ensure the presence of natural bioactive compounds. We love it in tea, smoothies, and chia pudding, and we’ve been known to use it as a face mask from time to time.
