Sunrise yoga and a green smoothie are two simple ways to kickstart your day. The yoga sequence warms up your muscles, clears brain fog, and gives you a moment of calm before emails, traffic, or to-do lists take over. Following your flow with a nutrient-packed green smoothie fuels your body with minerals, vitamins, and hydration in one delicious sip—all before you’ve even left the mat.
Over the years, I’ve swapped out coffee, skipped morning snacks, and trialed every bottled green juice on the market. But blending your own smoothie at home? That’s the winning recipe: you choose quality ingredients, control sweetness, and you skip the extra sugar and preservatives. In under 10 minutes, you can whip up a smoothie that powers your Sun Salutations, balances you through Warrior poses, and cools you down in Savasana.
Below are eight easy smoothies from Light Orange Bean that pair perfectly with your morning flow. Each recipe uses straightforward ingredients you can prep during your weekly grocery run, and every blend delivers a unique benefit—whether it’s protein for strength, healthy fats for focus, or icy freshness for recovery. Ready to add a splash of green to your practice? Grab your blender, stock your freezer bags, and let’s dive in.
