Winter is often why we reach out for the mug seeking the warmth a hot fuzzy drink brings. But what is in your mug? A perfect solution is when your mug or bottle has a healthy and delicious answer to the cold weather. We have compiled a list of 8 hot smoothies for a winter morning and how to make them.
8 Favourite Winter Morning Smoothies
1. Wassail Green Warm Smoothie
If you are ready to ignite your smoothie game or step it up a notch, then this comforting blend of spices will vibe up your winter. A perfect Wassail recipe should include heated apple cider or, in the alternative, pure apple juice as the base. Next, add cranberries and oranges for the bit of zing while ground cloves, cinnamon, and ginger provide the spice. This recipe has all it takes to keep you healthy and warm all winter.
2. Apple Pie Smoothie
One of the hardest hurdles we face during winter is beating those cravings. Anyone battling a pie craving will feel soothed by the delicious taste of this dessert smoothie. The Apple Pie Green is an ideal smoothie for a night out or in. It mixes hot water, rolled oats, Medjool dates, spinach, almond milk, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cored and sliced apples.
3. Hot Oaty Mocha Smoothie
The Oaty Mocha is a nutrient-packed smoothie that warms you from the lips to the rest of you. Comforting and tasty, it is what the body begs for in the months of shivers. The best part, it is extremely easy to make. All you need are unsweetened almond milk, dark chocolate, espresso, rolled oats, banana, hazelnuts, chia seeds, cold water, and maca powder. Your final product will be creamy and caffeine boosted with a taint of sweetness.
4. Orange Carrot and Ginger HOT smoothie
Never underestimate the protection a little vitamin A and C afford you from the biting cold. This smoothie combines orange, carrot, ginger, lemon, hot water, and honey as a sweetener. Avoid filling up your smoothie maker with boiling liquid as this may either shatter the glass of a glass jug. Add a little hot water to cold water before blending. The remaining hot water goes in at the end.
5. Hot Vanilla Chai Latte Smoothie
Winter is an opportunity for you to try something new. In this case, it is a chance to drop the regular chai latte for an energy-boosting hot smoothie. Optional ingredients for this healthy mix include yerba mate and matcha powder. Use them if you need a bit of caffeine to give you the kick you seek.
6. Hot Chocolate Protein Shake
Stepping out for a run on a snow-filled morning is no easy feat. That is why this hot chocolate protein shake is the perfect energy booster, particularly for a person who loves hot chocolate. The addition of egg gives this smoothie a bubbly look and a source of bonus protein. The ingredients for this meal include whole milk, unsweetened vanilla, a pastured egg, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a sweetener of choice. Excellent additions include a scoop of peanut butter and banana.
7. Hot Cinnamon Apple Smoothie
Smoothies rarely take too long to make. The Hot Cinnamon Apple smoothie is well within this category—just a few key ingredients, and you have a snack that smacks the lips. Ingredients required include cinnamon spice to boost flavor, raisins, and apples with hot water. There is nothing better than mixing up a bunch of doctor-recommended fruits and fibers into a blender for a healthy, mobile snack.
8. Warm Banana Smoothie
Have you ever tasted freshly baked, straight from the oven, banana bread? This is what the warm banana smoothie feels like. It is the ideal drink for anyone who wishes to fight the urge to get back in bed. The amazing fact about this gluten-free drink is that it takes only 5 minutes to make.
Warm Up Your Day
Getting your smoothie should be done with the right gear. Hot smoothies need durable jars that wouldn’t succumb to the heat. Therefore, you need excellent budget blenders that can help you welcome the winter in grand style. You don’t have to fold to the cold.
