Belvita breakfast smoothies are so delicious and the perfect energy-producing smoothie for your morning on the go.
Belvita Breakfast Smoothies
Our weekday mornings are always a huge rush. I have one very demanding early riser, the first to leave on the bus, and three more to send off an hour later. My eight-year-old is sleepy and barely makes the bus with a full breakfast. I guarantee my kids would happily eat belVita Breakfast Biscuits alone, which provide four hours of nutritious, steady energy. I also know that if I could incorporate them into Breakfast Smoothies, it would be a Morning Win for all of us.
Back home, I got to work with these essential smoothie ingredients and let the magic begin for my Morning Win! When I finished, I couldn’t wait for a taste test. It’s funny how everyone prefers something different. I am in L-O-V-E with the Tangy Orange & Cranberry flavored smoothie. I’m telling you, it will slap you awake! My husband and sister love Berry-flavored smoothies, and my eight-year-old only wants Blueberry.

I love this idea. We have been making smoothies lately after all the holiday indulging and the only problem is I feel hungry pretty quickly afterwards. I really think adding the BelVita biscuits could be the perfect solution to this problem. Thanks for sharing this great information!
I know what you mean. We need a balance of light yet filling. The Breakfast Biscuits really do give the smoothies a little more substance.
I always have belvita breakfast bisquits in the house. So when I noticed that three of the bags were crushed, I decided to check out different recipes to use what was left… (Crumbs), basically! I drink smoothies every morning and incorporating belvita into my smoothies is a great idea!
Oh my goodness…what a perfect solution! I’m so glad you found a good use for your Belvita crumbs. 🙂 You’ll have to let me know what you think of the recipes. I am in love with the tangy orange and cranberry!
