Looking for a quick and simple breakfast option? Then try our Breakfast Berry Smoothie for the ultimate start to your day!

Breakfast Berry Smoothie - Packed full of blueberries & raspberries

We’re big fans of smoothies over at Intolerant Gourmand HQ!

Almost every morning, our nutribullet will be on the go, blitzing up an array of fruits to create delicious and creamy smoothies and smoothie bowls.

If the children, and Callum in particular, is needing a boost of nutrients, it’s the perfect way to get more into them as smoothies made in this way are packed full of nutrients and vitamins to enhance your diet.

Their vibrant and enviting colour is a good way of enticing little ones to try them as well!

It’s also a great option when trying to boost your fruit intake and hit the 5-a-day target, you can’t beat a delicious smoothie!

The added bonus, certainly from my perspective as a busy mum who’s always on the go - smoothies are a really quick and simple breakfast option! In just 5 minutes, and that's from prep to eating/ drinking, you simply blitz and take with you!

What’s not to love!?

You can make a smoothie with pretty much any fruit, so get creative and see what you like. Mix it up and find out what becomes a favourite in your house. Let us know what you make as well, and we’ll try it and see what we think!

The best bit, the kids have no idea there's spinach in there, and it's boosting their iron levels! Happy days! :)

Oooh yum, gorgeous photos too Mrs!!! we have loads of smoothies in this house for the same reason! I hate giving the Peachicks supplements and smoothies are so easy to make - mine comes to work with me so I actually get breakfast! For me & Alys we substitute the banana with either tinned peaches or very overripe pears/melon! #cookblogshare xxx

Ah thank you! Smoothies are so versatile and great to use instead of supplements as you say. If I don't use banana, I tend to use avocado to get the good fats in the kids!
Pears are great for reducing thickness, and nectarines too! x

Yum this looks gorgeous! My kids haven't been keen on homemade smoothies in the past - they like the ones in cartons of course - but u must try again X

Thank you! :)
If they don't like them as smoothies, you could always make them a little thicker and turn them into smoothie bowls (like really thick yoghurt) and get them to sprinkle their own things on top - chopped up fruit, cacao nibs, if ok with nuts then a sprinkle of ground almond/ walnut, flaxseed, chia seed, drizzle with honey etc.
Or freeze into ice cream! :) x

I love the look of this, it sounds so good to get me going in the morning. I was surprised to see you'd got spinach in there - but what a great idea as looking at the finished smoothie you'd really never know.
