Blending avocados in a smoothie may not be for everyone, but I personally love the texture that it creates, especially when combined with other fruits and veggies.
Kids love them too, especially when cold and creamy, which makes them feel like they’re eating ice cream. What better way for them to get essential nutrients in!
While meat is typically high in protein, there are in fact also lots of vegetarian and also vegan protein sources to consider.
And smoothies are an excellent way to get that extra protein in, sourced from vegetables and other non-meat foods.
If you usually need a bit of time in the morning to really wake up, don’t worry, you’re not alone. And that first cup of coffee just can’t come soon enough!
I’ve been replacing coffee with nutritious and energizing juices and green smoothies in the mornings, and while it wasn’t easy in the beginning (I was a serious coffee addict!), my body and mind are now very much used to it.
One of my favorite fruits to put in my juicer is pineapple, which is interesting, because I don’t actually enjoy eating pineapple by itself.
Pineapple has very potent flavors that work best when mixed with other fruits and vegetables to establish a good balance of not only flavors but also nutrients.
There’s nothing more rewarding after a full-on home workout than a refreshing tropical smoothie, best shared with my husband and kids.
For vegetable and fruit lovers like me, it’s so easy to go crazy with smoothies since they only take less than five minutes to prepare and share with others.
The best part of having a good blender in your kitchen is the experimenting with different fruits and vegetables that you would otherwise not eat or buy.
Over the years, I have created many green smoothie recipes, some worked really well, while others turned out to be a complete fail. But that’s really the fun of having a blender. Just keep experimenting with recipes and ingredients and see what works best for you.
The color may not be green, but this simple and nutritious banana berry smoothie will definitely give you an instant health and energy boost in the morning when you most need it.
Fresh fruit combined with Greek yogurt, a bit of cinnamon and a teaspoon of honey creates a delicious smoothie!
If you’re in need of a healthy energy boost in the morning to get you going for the rest of the day, then try this delicious carrot and spinach smoothie recipe with apple and ginger.
This powerhouse drink is high in vitamins A and C and is loaded with a great variety of minerals such as potassium, calcium, folate and magnesium.
Mint may not be the most common ingredient for green smoothies, but its health benefits are indisputable.
This is a simple mint green smoothie recipe that you can use to start experimenting with mint in your own green smoothies.
As you may already know, I love experimenting with exotic fruits. I often visit markets and specialty grocery stores, hunting for new fruits and vegetables to try out.
One of these weird fruits is the kiwano fruit, otherwise known as horned melon. An interesting looking fruit that is a mix between a melon and a cucumber.
This kiwano fruit smoothie recipe with spinach and blueberry is surprisingly refreshing. Unfortunately I can’t make this smoothie all too often, because kiwanos are quite hard to find.
