Our Top Morning Drink Ideas to Start Your Day Off Right

How do you start off your morning? More than likely, some sort of beverage is involved. And who could blame you? Having a delicious custom drink every morning livens up the day. But making drinks at home isn’t always as simple as it sounds.

Aside from coming up with the extra time, it can be difficult to come up with morning drink ideas that don’t break the bank and are suitable for life on-the-go.

In this article, we’ll talk through our favorite morning drink ideas and their recipes. Each drink was chosen to help start your day off right. And, of course, we’ll show you the drinkware that pair best, making each drink perfect on-the-go sips.

1. Matcha Latte

Filled with antioxidants and a moderate amount of caffeine, matcha provides a gentle energy boost without the jitters.

For this drink, you’ll need:

• 1 teaspoon of your favorite matcha powder

• 1 tablespoon of hot water

• 1 cup of your milk of choice

To start, follow the directions on your matcha powder’s container. Once it’s ready you’ll need to decide if you want your latte hot or cold. If you’re opting for hot, you’ll want to heat your milk (steamed and frothed is our fave) before adding it into your matcha. All that’s left is to sweeten it to taste and enjoy!

2. Greens Smoothies

Want to know the best thing about smoothies? They can be both a delicious drink and nutritious breakfast option. Simply combine leafy greens with fruits, nuts, and milk or yogurt and head out!

There are countless ways to make a nutritious and delicious smoothie. For our favorite low-prep smoothie, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of your favorite leafy greens (don’t be afraid to mix)

• 1 banana

• ½ cup berries

• 1 tablespoon of chia seeds

• 1 cup of milk or water

If you’re using fresh produce, be sure your greens and fruits have been washed thoroughly. Add your liquid into the blender first, followed by the rest of your ingredients. Then blend until smooth!

3. Golden Turmeric Milk

Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, golden turmeric milk is a soothing, perfect choice for easing into any morning routine. We’ll be honest, there are premade options you can grab from the store and they’re great. But, homemade is always a winner in our book.

For this drink, you’ll need:

• 1 cup of milk (plant-based works just as well)

• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger

• A pinch of black pepper

• 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup

Add your milk and spices to a pan and whisk them together. Simmer, but don’t boil, until warm.  Once it's ready, sweeten it to taste. If you’re looking for a richer flavor, add ½ teaspoon coconut oil or ghee!

4. Freshly Brewed Coffee or Herbal Tea

With so many great morning drink ideas to choose from, let’s not forget the most faithful ones: fresh brewed coffee or tea. Whether you prefer a robust espresso, a creamy cappuccino, or a simple drip coffee, the aroma alone can be a comforting way to start your day.

If you prefer to kickstart your day without caffeine, herbal teas are an easy option that promote relaxation and digestive health. Served hot or iced, both drinks are a perfect morning drink idea for any schedule.

5. Lemon Water

Starting your day with a glass of warm lemon water is a great way to kickstart your metabolism and hydrate your body all in the same glass.

For this drink, you’ll need:

• The juice of half a lemon

• One glass of water (8-10 oz)

Start by warming your glass of water. Then squeeze your half lemon in and stir. For a touch of  sweetness, add in a tablespoon of raw honey.
