Mornings are usually rushed, right? That’s when this Morning Fuel Smoothie saves the day! It’s one of my favourite go-to recipes when I want something quick, tasty, and healthy. It takes just 5 minutes and fills me up beautifully.

The natural sweetness from apple and banana, the earthy crunch of carrot, and the creaminess from almond milk – all blend into a perfect sip! I prefer chunks of nuts here and there in my smoothie. If you like it smooth, soak the nuts for little longer.

This smoothie is packed with fibre, good carbs, and healthy fats. It supports digestion, boosts energy, and keeps your tummy full till lunch. Especially great for school kids and working adults alike.

Let’s Talk About Ingredients

• Apple – Gives natural sweetness and freshness. Green apple adds tanginess if you prefer.
• Banana – Makes the smoothie creamy. Frozen banana gives a chill milkshake feel.
• Carrot – Adds fibre and colour. Grated raw carrot blends well and improves digestion.
• Mixed Nuts – Almond, cashew, and pista add healthy fats. Soaking helps them blend smooth.
• Oats – Gives thickness and slow energy release. Use rolled oats, soak before blending.
