Have been using a nutribullet for breakfast each morning since Father Christmas brought one into our house, but have the same thing everyday and am looking for some inspiration for mixing it up a bit.

Current daily routine is
Half a banana
Half an apple
Whole kiwi fruit
Whole satsuma
Handful of blueberries
Handful of grapes
Two handfuls of spinach
Linwoods milled Flaxseed mix (various)
Home made Kefir milk

I down this at 6am and it keeps me going until 11.30am. I occasionally put in stawberries/raspberries or pear if there is any in the fridge

Interested in any other breakfast concoctions any of you do so I can try them out.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

My recipe would be maybe try downing it an hour later, so that it'll keep you going until lunchtime.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

spoonful of full fat greek style yoghourt. Enough to carry full winter gear up a mountain where coffee or hot chocolate can form a 2nd breakfast.

In reply to Clauso:

ha, good idea...although I only have one jug with it which my wife uses after I have gone to work. Lunch at 11.30 works ok for me.

In reply to wercat:

that's it? a spoon of yoghurt? I can ditch the nutribullet then...I knew it was a fad, can sit next to the spiralizer and bread maker in the fondue set cupboard.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

If it was me I'd throw in 500 grams of sugar as well.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:
Quite. There's an awful lot of sugar in there.
My suggestions (from my own smoothie habits):

Avocado
Raw beetroot
Kale
Ginger *** smoothie ingredient
Rainbow chard

Swap out some of the fruit for raw veggie goodness. It won't taste quite as nice, but will leave you feeling smug for hours....

[edit for clarity: that's not a recipe, rather some ingredient suggestions. I'll have a banana/mango/blueberry base for sweetness, ginger for taste and then as much green stuff as I can handle, with water providing the liquidy bit. Sometimes some extra plain whey protein and milled chia if I have it in]

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

Stick a large vodka in it.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

Spinach
Carrot
Beetroot
Orange
Ginger
Cucumber

Tasted ok this morning, generally I'm not the smoothie type but I have something like this occasionally as I work shift, only get short breaks and thus don't always have time for proper meals.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

Coconut milk, almonds, spinach, apple, banana is my favourite mix.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

Bacon, sausage, black pudding, eggs, mushrooms, fried potatoes, mustard, worcester sauce.

In reply to ChrisBrooke:

There is a lot of sugar in there. I accept this as I don't have much sugar throughout the rest of the day.

I will try swapping some of the fruit with more veg and see how I get on. The kefir milk has a very distinct sour tangy taste so needs quite a bit of fruit to disguise. I saw a big bag of kale in the fridge this morning so will try that tomorrow.

Thx for the suggestions.

In reply to Sir Chasm:

Sounds like something Heston would liquidise, freeze and serve as ice cream

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:

Milk, peanut butter (shit loads), banana and porridge oats. A bit more macdonalds milkshake than hipster green juice but bet it gets you past 11.30.

In reply to Bjartur i Sumarhus:
Corn Flakes and hot milk, yum yum!

or if you like it sweet, Honey, Golden Syrup, Strawberry jam.
