    How To Make A Healthy Smoothie Recipe

    There’s really not many ways to mess up a smoothie! Basically, all you do is throw all your ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. I do have a few tips for you though!

    • I’m sure you can make a smoothie in a food processor but I prefer to use a high powered blender, like this Vitamix that I have. A regular blender would work too but I love my Vitamix because it makes everything so nice and smooth and I love adding in ingredients like ice, nuts and seeds.
    • Adding vegetables to your smoothie: I probably wouldn’t add lettuce to my smoothie but greens like spinach and kale work great for adding extra nutrition without too much added flavor. I’ve never added cauliflower to my smoothie before but that seems to be a trend right now. Zucchini also might be a nice addition because it’s pretty tasteless but will add some nutrition. For my Beet Cherry smoothie I used steamed beets so they blended up nicely.
    • Adding fruit to your smoothie: You can pretty much add any fruit you like to your smoothie! I usually always add a banana to my smoothie because it acts as a nice sweetener while also helping to thicken it. Then, after the banana I just use whatever fruit I’m in the mood for. I really love making tropical fruit smoothies, berry smoothies and citrusy smoothies.
    • I love using frozen fruit in my healthy smoothie recipes because it makes them kind of like a milkshake and I love the thickness and coldness it adds. I usually just buy bags of frozen fruit that’s already diced up and it makes smoothie prep so easy! If you don’t use frozen fruit I would suggest adding in some ice just to make your smoothie a bit more refreshing. It’s totally optional though!
    • Yogurt is another great way to thicken your smoothie and can be a great way to add extra protein.
    • I usually use enough fruit to make my smoothie sweet enough for my liking, but you like want it even sweeter, you can add pure maple syrup, honey, dates or fruit juice.

    What Kind Of Liquid Should I Use In My Smoothie?

    This is really up to you! If I have almond milk on hand I will usually use that but if not I just use water and turns out great! You can use any other milk product (non-dairy or dairy) that you use regularly or you can jazz it up and use juice. I would just steer clear of juices for these healthy smoothie recipes that have tons of added sugar, but that is totally just a personal preference.

    Healthy Smoothie Recipes For Meal Prep

    Did you know that you can actually assemble your smoothies ahead of time and either store in the freezer or refrigerator until ready to use? When I do this, I usually add all the ingredients, except for the liquid, into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for about 3 days and the freezer for up to 3 months.

    I like to use glass mason jars for packing my smoothies because it doubles as a container to drink your smoothie out of, but you could also use freezer safe ziplock bags, or these cool reusable bags.
