Blueberry Bliss Smoothie with Crunola

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day - we all know that. But what you eat, how you prepare it, and how you eat is just as important! When you start your morning with a delicious breakfast made with wholesome ingredients and prepared with love, your energy levels stay up during the day, and your cravings are reduced. As summer approaches, smoothies make a great light, yet nutritious breakfast.

Give this vibrant and refreshing Blueberry Bliss Smoothie a try! Topped with Le Pain Quotidien Crunola® raw granola, this recipe comes from our friend Ksenia, the chief foodie behind Breakfast Criminals.

Blueberry Bliss Smoothie with Crunola

This berry-licious sensation is one of my favorite recipes, and super easy to make! Play an artist and decorate the smoothie with fruit, or simply fill up a mason jar, and you've got a great healthy breakfast that you can bring to the office, to the park, or to the gym.

The key to being a Breakfast Criminal (i.e. eating healthy superfood breakfasts) is finding the foods that work for you, and making sure you always have them in your pantry or freezer. Crunola is my go-to when it comes to giving a new dimension to a smoothie or creating the perfect coconut yogurt parfait. 

To prepare, simply blend all of the fruit with the raw almonds and coconut water. For maximum creaminess, soak the almonds overnight in filtered water and then peel the skin off. It comes off easily once the nuts have been soaked! Top with Crunola and additional fruit slices if desired. This breakfast has digestive enzymes, electrolytes, antioxidants, omega-3s, magnesium, zinc and vitamin C.
