39 Healthy Smoothie Recipes

Ahh, the smoothie. It’s gotten a bad rap in the past for being a sugar-laden
drink more closely resembling dessert than anything remotely healthy. But while
that might be true for smoothies purchased at juice shops, you can make
healthy smoothie recipes right at home for a fraction of the price in just
minutes.

Why do I love smoothies so much? They make a great breakfast or snack

anytime of the day and can usually be made ahead of time. These delicious
healthy smoothie recipes can help you refuel after a great workout.

You can also load them up with nutrient-dense foods and supplements to help
boost your immune system or to give you an energizing power-punch to your
metabolism. They require minimal equipment (just a blender) and, by storing
them in a reusable drink bottle, you can have an on-the-go meal in minutes.

Ready to make one of these frosty concoctions? I’ve rounded up some of my

favorite healthy smoothies. Whether you want to satisfy a sweet tooth, detox
with a green smoothie or indulge in a chocolate drink, I know you’ll love these
recipes.

potassium. Be sure to use fresh-squeezed orange juice to ensure you’re
avoiding unnecessary sugars and organic carrots to ensure that you’re getting
the most nutritional value. This is perfect for early mornings or a midday break
to give you the boost you need!

protein to keep your metabolism up, it makes for a great start to your morning.
For variations, throw in a little bit of pineapple or a handful of spinach.

Why should the only pumpkin recipes be pies? In this healthy smoothie, canned
pumpkin provides extra ber and a lovely orange color, while apples and oats
will also help you feel fuller longer. And while it’s got “breakfast” in the name, I
think this smoothie makes a great meal anytime. Try substituting the Greek
yogurt with goat milk yogurt!

5. Cherry Almond Smoothie

Reminiscent of a cherry cobbler, this smoothie is loaded with good-for-you
ingredients like cherries, almonds and coconut oil. You’ll never believe how
healthy this sweet treat is!

This is a simple and easy smoothie recipe that’s quick and delicious.
Raw blueberries support your digestion and add a heap of vitamin K, vitamin C
and manganese to your daily vitamin intake. You can add or take away the
spinach, but I recommend keeping it because spinach leaves are loaded with
vitamin A and vitamin K. All you have to do is place all of your ingredients in the
blender and go; It’s perfect for a hectic morning, but you can enjoy this
smoothie recipe any time of the day.
