Change is in the air my friends and it’s a wonderful time to connect with your inner kitchen witch and make some serious magic in the kitchen, starting with breakfast! This Creamsicle Smoothie for New Beginnings is a delicious and intentional way to start your day, especially this week when we have the second Aries New Moon of the season coming into play.
The flavours of this smoothie are so refreshing and really kind of taste like warm weather…if warm weather had a taste lol. The New Moon energy this week is really exciting as it is also a Solar Eclipse and the beginning of a brand new eclipse cycle making the energy kind of supercharged. It’s a great time to start fresh, set new intentions, make positive changes, be fearless and take advantage of new opportunities, really trust your intuition and be the leader in your own life.
This smoothie has some other really stellar properties, aside from new beginnings, that go along with this energy as well including creativity, joy, positivity, health, success, prosperity, and good fortune.
First though, let’s get into some of the health benefits this smoothie contains.

Vegan Protein Powder
- Being vegan, I like to get this extra protein boost into my day.
- I use Genuine Health Organic Fermented Vanilla Protein Powder or Form. They are both delicious and with no funky additives.
- Be wary with protein powders as a lot of them have ingredient lists as long as your arm. Try to buy high quality if you are going to use one.
- Another alternative I like to use is pure Pumpkin Seed Powder. It comes only unflavoured and is honestly pretty tasteless lol.
Smoothie Notes
- I don’t use any additional sweetener. However, you can add a medjool date, maple syrup, agave, or date syrup if you’d like it on the sweeter side.
- People have varied tastes when it comes to smoothies in regards to how thick they like them. This recipe is exactly how I make mine. Feel free to add more, or less, liquid/ice to get your desired thickness.
- Different protein powders WILL change the taste so find one that suits you. You can also omit the protein powder entirely. Maybe add a little vanilla extract or kefir to the mix if you omit the powder.
A Magical Start to Your Day
Food is magick, always. So let’s harness that and get our day started off with intention, mindfulness, and positivity.
Intention setting while we are preparing our meals is a stellar way to inject some magick into our normal daily routines. I mean we all gotta eat, so why not make it magickal. This is truly practical magic at it’s finest!

Magic in the Morning
So, are we excited for breakfast tomorrow? We are always looking for extra ways to include magick into our days.
Opportunities to work our magic and manifest are all around us. We just need to be aware and harness them.
Breakfast is a wonderful time to set intentions and manifest how you would like your day, or week, to go.
And there is no reason why we can’t have a nutritious breakfast that is also magically charged. That’s the best type if you ask me!
