Whether you are vegan, trying to lose weight, tone up, or simply enjoy eating healthy, smoothies are the way to go. You can have these as your breakfast or even as a light snack throughout the day. They are packed with nutrients and protein, so they can deter you from grabbing some chocolate when you crave something sweet. One of the best things about smoothies is that you can combine both fruit and vegetables to maximize the positive impact they have on your body. Your options are endless, but I’ve come up with a list of the most mouth-watering smoothies I’ve ever made.
Pomegranate-berry
Ingredients:
- half a cup pomegranate juice
- half a cup low-fat yoghurt
- 1 cup frozen berries (mixed)
For this recipe, you need to place the yoghurt and the juice in your blender and preferably mix them first so that you have a smooth base. Then, add your berries and wait until they are fully incorporated into the smoothie. When it’s ready, be prepared to taste one of the most intriguing smoothies you’ve ever tried!
Chocolate lover
Ingredients:
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 cup of almond milk
- nuts for topping (optional)
Yes, you read that right. This is a healthy chocolate smoothie recipe that you only need 3 ingredients to make. You first need to cut your banana into smaller bits and add it to your blender. Then, add the cocoa powder and half a cup of milk. Blend the ingredients and check if you need more milk. If so, add a little more and blend again. You can serve it topped with some nuts or strawberries.
Purple dream
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of almond milk
- 1 cup low-fat yoghurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- half a tablespoon of cinnamon (optional)
This is a great smoothie for people with a sweet tooth because it tastes like blueberry muffins! Also, blueberries can drastically improve your concentration and they help prevent diabetes and obesity. All you have to do is blend the ingredients until smooth.
All green
Ingredients:
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 cups pear bits
- 1 cup of apple bits
- 2 cups coconut milk
- a few chia seeds
This is one of those tricky smoothies to make, because you have to blend the leafy greens, in this case, the spinach, and coconut milk first, to be left with a smooth base. You can then add the fruit and chia seeds. Even if it doesn’t taste as good as the other smoothies, this one gives you a great energy boost and if you start making it every morning, it will become part of your routine, and you will realize how much it improves your health.
Peanut butter and jelly
Ingredients:
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup of almond milk
- half a cup (or less) of peanut butter
This one was a dream come true for me as I am a big fan of peanut butter. It is advised that you first blend the fruit and milk so that you create a smooth base for the peanut butter that you are going to add afterward. Make sure you carefully pour the smoothie in a glass and enjoy it!
