So we thought of all of us who are often running late and came up with these 7 delicious drinkable breakfast recipes. Tasty and designed to fit into a varied diet, these drinks are a handy alternative to your usual breakfast. Their convenient format means you can take them with you on your commute or even to the office. Give them a try!
Our tip: if you’re really pressed for time in the morning, you can make these drinkable breakfasts the night before and keep them in the fridge in a sealed bottle.
Why is breakfast so important?
You might think that skipping breakfast doesn’t really matter. Yet this first meal has its place in a balanced day. Here’s why…
After a night’s rest, breakfast is your chance to refuel for the morning ahead. It’s also a moment for yourself before the day gets hectic, and it helps you build good habits.
In an ideal day, you’d start with a complete, balanced breakfast, follow with a wholesome, satisfying lunch and finish with a lighter dinner. If you skip the first meal of the day, your meals may end up less evenly spread out. In fact, skipping breakfast often leads us to eat more at lunch and dinner.
Even if you don’t necessarily feel hungry first thing, there’s a good chance you’ll feel a little peckish mid-morning. And that’s when trouble strikes: the vending machine, with its chocolate bars and packaged biscuits, starts calling your name! So, to cut down on snacking during the morning, think of our drinkable breakfasts!
One final argument to convince you of the importance of a balanced breakfast: it’s a real moment of pleasure to get the morning off to a good start, before diving into work, the commute or the school run. A good breakfast is also a simple way to look after yourself every day.

No breakfast can make water retention disappear on its own. The drinkable recipes in this article can, however, have their place in a wholesome, balanced diet. Go for the ones that make the most of fresh fruit (pineapple, strawberries, apple, mango). Go easy on the honey and maple syrup, and give the packaged biscuits from the vending machine a miss.
Remember to drink water regularly throughout the day too, not just with your breakfast. If you have any medical questions, ask your GP for advice.
