How To Make The Perfect Breakfast Drink For Your Day

What to Drink to Start Your Day 

A 3-beverage breakfast is a proper breakfast.

 

...

 

The first two are obvious, You have your glass of water – proper hydration leading to better skin, digestion, the works – and your coffee, that sweet, sweet non-negotiable mug of optimism and motivation.

May your coffee be strong ... just like our glass.

 

And then the third: that’s where the big decision comes. That’s where you tailor your glass for whatever the day has in store for you. Is it a spin class followed by a work day filled with to-do lists and meetings? Grab a green smoothie. Is it daytime binge-watching before meeting up with friends for a park date? Hello, tricked-out Bloody Mary.

 

Tailor your glass for whatever the day has in store for you. 

 

Inspired by our brilliantly versatile tall tumblers, we turned to two aficionados for our favorite ways to fill the glass. First off, Kelly LeVeque is a nutritionist in Los Angeles known for her beWELL smoothies that have become as famous as her clients (hi, Jessica Alba). Her secret to success is loading up your green smoothie with protein rather than tons of fruit, leading to you feeling satiated and less likely to crash halfway through the morning. Here’s her Mojito-inspired recipe.

 Use apples to sweeten the deal or include kale to pack more of punch.

Blend together:

 

  • 1 Serving Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1 tbsp Chia Seed
  • Lime
  • Mint leaves
  • Spinach
  • Coconut Water

 

Next up, we’ve got self-described “spirits nerd” Caley Shoemaker, the Bay Area-based head distiller for Hangar 1 vodka. We’re obsessed with her “Turn Up The Beet” (ha!) Bloody Mary because it’s a little sweet, a little different, and involves both bacon and veggies. How can you lose?

A bright twist on the classic, this bloody mary will wake you right up. 

 

Turn Up the Beet Bloody Mary

 

  • 4 oz chilled Hangar 1 Straight Vodka
  • 1 ½ cups spicy tomato juice
  • ½ cup pure beet juice
  • 1 tbsp pepperoncini juice
  • ½ small lemon (squeezed for juice)
  • 1½ tsp freshly ground pepper
  • ½ tsp horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon ground garlic
  • Your preference for hot sauce (to taste)
  • Bacon salt and smoked paprika for rim

 

And don’t forget the most delicious, Instagrammable part – a stalk of celery, a beet, pickles and a rosemary-stuffed olive, all pierced with a toothpick.

 

No matter which one you choose for your day, these are sure to start yours off on a pretty amazing note. So go ahead and toast – your partner, your friend, or even yourself. Because what’s the point of the multi-drink breakfast if you can’t have a little fun with it?
