This $6.59 Aldi Product Helps The Busiest Weekday Mornings

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but between getting kids ready for school, getting ourselves ready for work, and making sure our furry friends are taken care of, it can be easy to forget. If a cup of coffee and few bites of toast are your norm, but you find yourself fading come 10 a.m., one of my favorite Aldi finds might be the solution to your morning meal woes. The Bolthouse Farms Strawberry Banana Smoothie has been the star of so many of my busy weekday mornings by making sure that I start my day with something that’s both filling and nutritious.

Why I Love This Smoothie For Breakfast

Found in the refrigerated section (near where I’m also grabbing my favorite cheese and hummus), this pre-blended drink is made with strawberry puree and banana puree, plus pear juice, apple juice, and apple puree. With no sugar added and 13 servings of fruit in every 52-ounce bottle, it’s a much healthier option than stopping for a fast-food breakfast biscuit (as delicious as they may be) or spiking my blood sugar with a sugary cereal or pastry.

Why This Is A Cost-Effective Choice

Each bottle has 6.5 servings and costs only $6.59, which means each serving comes out to be around $1—a far cry from the $7-$10 a single smoothie costs at a smoothie bar nowadays. It perfectly fulfills my cravings for something fresh, creamy, and fruity during hot summer months. In winter, it gives a tropical taste to cheer up dreary days. If I’ve got time, I pair it with a couple eggs for protein. If not, it still manages to keeps me full all the way until lunchtime. With roughly two servings of fruit per cup, it’s also a great way to make sure kids get their recommended daily servings of fruit.   

More Tasty Flavors

If strawberry-banana isn’t your flavor of choice, Bolthouse Farms also makes a really tasty Green Goodness juice with apple, mango, kiwi, and spinach, as well as an Amazing Mango juice.
