Morphology
The meaning 'a blended drink consumed at breakfast' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'morning' (a time of day) with 'smoothie' (a blended drink). The time + noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
Morning smoothie combines morning, the start of the day, and smoothie, a blended 'drink', to make a clear picture of a quick drink you have at 'breakfast'. That's why it means a blended, often healthy 'drink' people usually have early to start the day.
