Starting your day with a yoga flow? Fuel your body, and your soul with this Yoga Glow Smoothie. Packed with hydrating ingredients and nourishing goodness, this smoothie is the perfect breakfast recipe to kickstart your morning.On our most recent trip to Guatemala, I was completely inspired by the fresh fruit and delicious smoothies abundant there. I also took so much away from the slower pace of life that the locals embraced. People didn’t seem to rush around, but really take their time and be present in whatever it was that they were doing. After the craziness of moving your life across a continent, immersing myself in this slower pace was exactly what I needed.

One morning in Antigua, C and I leisurely walked the cobblestone streets looking for a place to grab breakfast. We stumbled across Samsara and I was immediately in love with everything on their menu. The thing that really caught my eye was their pre and post yoga glow smoothies. Though I hadn’t done yoga that morning (we were heading out on a hike), I went for the post-yoga and C had the pre-yoga and both of them were basically what dreams are made of. It was the perfect way to start the day and hydrate before a big hike in the sun. I became determined to recreate it at home!

Not only did I want to recreate the smoothie, but I also wanted to make sure that this slower pace and really being intentional about my mornings also came home with me too. So before I left Guatemala I journaled my way through a new morning routine, which I’ve stuck to since landing back on US soil. I wanted to share this new routine with you because I truly feel that my quality of life has dramatically improved since implementing it.

1. Wake up slow – I’ve talked about this before, but what it really means is giving myself an hour or so to ease into my day. Instead of rolling over and reaching for my phone, I’ve developed other rituals before jumping head into the tech.

2. Hydration – I love my coffee or matcha, but water is so key. I’m trying to start my day with a cup or two of water and have been loving the Simple Truth Distilled electrolyte water because it actually encourages me to drink. Plus it has no artificial sweeteners or preservatives.

3. Move – Working out in whatever capacity feels right that day is so important to me. Sometimes it means taking Bodhi on a walk or run, but most of the time it’s a good yoga flow to get my muscles moving and stretch them out. Getting my sweat on is all the more reason to hydrate!

4. Meditate – I’ll be doing a more dedicated post on this soon, but I’ve been able to find a meditation routine that actually works for me and have noticed I’ve been far more mindful and calm throughout the day.

5. Green smoothie – this is nothing new, I love me a green smoothie, but I’m officially obsessed with this Yoga Glow Smoothie based off the one I tried in Guatemala. The inclusion of Simple Truth Vapor Distilled Water with Electrolytes helps my body recover faster.

It’s been truly amazing to see how changing the first hour of your day can completely transform the way the rest of the day evolves. I encourage all of you to try changing things up and see how it affects your day. I can’t imagine a bad day if it starts with this yoga glow smoothie!

  1. Love your recipes!! I forgot to check them for a minute!! I love a slow start morning and I have added meditation which I discovered i can’t do after coffee, lol! All the more reason to mediate, drink water, do a good yoga routine and dive into this smoothie. I have a mix of maca, ashwaganda and reiki that I’ll add tomorrow! Can’t wait and so happy I have all the ingredients. Not a banana fan and sometimes I swap frozen mango for a frozen banana. Best part ot the day!! coffee after 😉






  2. Absolutely delicious!! This is my go to smoothie. I love the extra layer of flavour from the ginger. I add chia seeds and flax to boost my fibre and put a dash of pepper to activate the turmeric. Thanks so much for sharing this!






  3. Hope your Guatemala trip was good. Your blog is very informative and details. Every time i come here for new recipe and i found the best all time. I’m a huge fan of fruit smoothie and you come up with yoga and fruit, that is just awesome. This recipe were so much delicious and full of healthy ingredients. Thanks for this.

  4. My weekday morning routine always feels rushed, and I’m trying to be better about taking a few extra minutes after I wake up to meditate…but I always end up falling back asleep and then jumping out of bed to work out, shower, and get to work. It’s tough to break the habit. That’s why I LOVE taking my sweet time on the weekend rolling out of bed, stretching, and making a nicer breakfast than my usual overnight oats. It’s my favorite routine and I savor every bit of it!

    1. It’s definitely a tough habit to break and I certainly have my days when I snooze a little too long, but it’s not about perfection but rather prioritizing the things you need each day 🙂 xoxo

  5. Looks absolutely delicious! And, really, is there any better combo than a smoothie and yoga!?!

  6. I love your new morning routine! I know when I came back from Italy I tried to adopt a slower pace of life too, but I still have a hard time with that. I’m guilty of rolling over and immediately looking at my phone and starting the coffee pot. I definitely don’t drink enough water either. Favorite post-workout meal is probably oats, eggs, or a delicious-looking smoothie like this! 🙂
