If you told me 10 years ago that I’d be craving a spinach smoothie for a snack, I would have laughed. But here I am, obsessed with vegetable smoothies that taste deliciously refreshing while secretly loading me up with nutrients!

My first attempts at veggie smoothies bitter, gritty, swamp-colored drinks that made my kids run away (ha!). But after countless experiments and plenty of trial and error, I’ve cracked the code on making vegetable smoothies that are actually delicious. Think everything from a creamy sweet tart carrot smoothie to a celery smoothie scented with apple and ginger.

Pro tips for vegetable smoothies

Don’t want to make one of the vegetable smoothie recipes above? After making dozens of veggie smoothies, here are some of my tips for making your own variations:

Start with mild vegetables. Spinach, cucumber, and carrots are perfect beginner vegetables because they blend easily and don’t overpower the fruit flavors.
Use frozen fruit for creaminess. I always keep frozen pineapple, mango, and banana pieces in my freezer. They create that thick, milkshake-like texture.
Add liquid gradually. Start with less liquid than you think you need. You can always add more, but you can’t take it back once your smoothie is too thin.

Storage and make-ahead tips

I’ve learned a few tricks for making vegetable smoothies work with busy schedules:

Fresh smoothies are best eaten right away, but you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just give them a good stir or shake before drinking, as separation is natural.

Freezer smoothie packs are a game-changer. If I’m feeling organized, sometimes I prep individual portions of vegetables and fruits in freezer bags, then just dump everything into the blender with liquid for instant smoothies.
