A collection of some of my favorite smoothie recipes and tips. Blending is a great way to enjoy the benefits of fruits and vegetables.
Smoothies are a great way to get some nutrition in, while at the same time giving yourself a delicious treat (or two) every day. I have been making my own smoothie recipes ever since I discovered how convenient smoothies are, as well as enjoyable and nutritious.
When it comes to adding liquids, I often add almond milk, coconut milk, or just plain water. Sometimes I even add green tea to my smoothies!
Whether you’re planning to start a healthier routine or a home culinary journey, you can bet that one of the easiest things you can make in the kitchen is a smoothie.
Popular belief dictates that smoothies are created just by tossing everything nice and nutritious in and letting the blender do its magic.
The principle “it’s always a good time for a smoothie” holds true in our household, because we can have them any time of the day with no guilt or hesitation.
Fresh fruit smoothies mixed with powerful vegetables are overflowing with nutritional benefits that keep us fit and healthy. As a health enthusiast, I’ve always been a bit of a smoothie scientist who loves to experiment with different recipes.
There was a time when blending avocado in a smoothie was unfamiliar to me. Back then, I only consumed avocados in guacamole, in savory dishes, or for breakfast.
I wondered if avocado smoothies were just like those hipster fads that end up tasting not so great. But as it turns out, smoothies with avocado taste really nice, as long as you mix them up with the right ingredients and liquids.
There’s nothing more rewarding after a full-on home workout than a refreshing tropical smoothie, best shared with my husband and kids.

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.
