Green Smoothie

This green smoothie recipe is such an energizing way to start the day! I make it with a big handful of spinach and frozen fruit, plus almond butter and chia seeds for protein and healthy fats.

Kale Smoothie

Kale isn’t the only green ingredient in this vibrant smoothie! I also add a little matcha powder for extra antioxidants and a caffeine kick. Fresh ginger, banana, and frozen peaches round out its sweet, refreshing flavor.


Avocado smoothies


Avocado Smoothie

This high-protein smoothie is the creamiest, dreamiest recipe on this list! That’s all thanks to avocado, which makes it deliciously thick and adds plenty of healthy fats. Blended with coconut milk, banana, pineapple, and fresh lime juice, it tastes like a tropical sorbet in a glass.

This smoothie is a quick and easy way to get a healthy breakfast and your morning coffee fix in one go! It’s a delicious blend of banana, almond milk, Medjool dates, and cold brew. A spoonful of almond butter gives it extra staying power.

This chocolate smoothie tastes like dessert, so it might come as a surprise that frozen zucchini is responsible for its thick and creamy texture. Cocoa powder, almond butter, and dates create its rich, sweet chocolate flavor.


Healthy berry superfood smoothie bowls


Berry Superfood Smoothie Bowl

This superfood smoothie bowl works well with any type of berries—I love using a mix of frozen blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries for sweet, tangy flavor. Pile on toppings like hemp seeds and coconut flakes, and scoop it up with a spoon for a healthy breakfast!

How to Make a Healthy Smoothie

Once you try a few of these smoothie recipes, you might notice that they follow a similar template. You can use it to build your own healthy smoothies using ingredients you have on hand:

  1. Start with fresh fruit. I use a frozen banana in most of my healthy smoothie recipes for sweetness and creamy texture. Fresh or frozen berries, tropical fruits, and peaches are great in smoothies too.
  2. Optional: Add vegetables. Leafy greens, cauliflower, and zucchini are all nutrient-dense additions to smoothies.
  3. Optional: Add protein. This could be a scoop of your favorite protein powder or Greek yogurt. I also like to add chia seeds and nut butter to my smoothies for a few extra grams of protein.
  4. Add liquid and blend until smooth, adding more liquid as needed to blend. I typically use a plant-based milk like unsweetened almond milk or oat milk in my smoothies. Regular dairy milk works too, as does apple or orange juice. If you decide to use juice, choose 100% fruit juice with no added sugar.

For a sweeter smoothie, blend in a little honey, maple syrup, or a Medjool date.

For a thicker, frostier smoothie, blend in a handful of ice cubes.
