How to Make a Breakfast Smoothie With BKLYN Blend
Start your day off right with this nutritious, easy-to-make recipe.
The adage “breakfast is the most important meal of the day” still rings true and is a wise motto to live given people’s busy schedules. Most today may be skipping out on their first meal or opting for a not-so-healthy quick fix like sugary pastries and cereals but there is a smart alternative. Making a healthy breakfast smoothie is an efficient way to get some immune-boosting nutrients first thing in the morning and the good folks at BKLYN Blend shows us how to make one.
BKLYN Blend is a minority and family-owned business located in Brooklyn’s Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood. Ralph Warren, Keishon Warren Ali Coutard and Ed Cooper own the location which provides healthy food options and encourages a healthy lifestyle culture to inner-city families. Menu items such as their healthy reuben sandwiches, shrimp salads and french toasts are some of the go-to options but their breakfast smoothies are definitely worth the try. The eatery also offers a wide array of custom menu items and they add a little Caribbean flare to compliment head chef Ed Cooper’s Trinidadian Roots.
