Quick and Healthy Smoothie Recipes and Tips
Start your day off right with these satisfying smoothie recipes.
Healthy, convenient and portable, smoothies are ideal fuel-on-the-go for breakfast, an afternoon snack or dessert. Smoothies provide important protein, vitamins and minerals from ingredients like tofu, yogurt and fruit.
Tips for a better smoothie:
- Freeze fruit for your smoothie the night before to ensure a thick, creamy texture. This tip works especially well for peeled, sliced bananas.
- If you’re taking your smoothie on the road, keep it cold by prechilling your container in the freezer for 30 minutes.

These recipes are decent, but many of them call for concentrated juices which often contain High fructose corn syrup, one recipe calls for a bit of grenadine... ooh pure SUGAR!! I make smoothies all the time with just about a cup of fresh and/or frozen fruit, and a 1/2 cup juice/nectar (that is 100% fruit juice, NO sugar) and I add a about 2 Tbl Nancy's plain unsweetened yogurt. If you want a protein boost try some whey protein powder, it has a low glycemic index and is generally better than soy (due to the estrogen that soy contains). You will be surprised how sweet it will be w/o adding any sugar!

I noticed some of your recipes have no fat - you need a healthy fat to make your smoothies a complete meal. A little ground flax seed or a teaspoon of flax oil or walnut oil are healthy and have omega-3s. Also make sure you have at least one fresh fruit, as well as the frozen fruit, for better digestion.

I made smoothies today. My recipe: 3 handfuls of frozen blueberries, 2 handfuls of fresh chopped strawberries, two handfuls of cherry tomatoes, 1 handful of pineapple, 2 cups of ice and I blended it. It tastes amazing:) mmmm. Very filling too!

I started to make a smoothie in the morning that is very filling. One cup of non-fat soy milk, one ripe banana, and one cup of frozen berries. No added sugar, the ripe banana makes it sweet and delicious.

I am in college and have been making smoothies for years here is a list of the various ingredients I use: Frozen berries (blue, straw, razz,), banana, kiwi, Walnuts, almonds, protein powder, NAKED JUICE!, Multivitamin, honey, granola, pomegranete, etc. One 24 oz glass can last me a full day in the event I don't have time for lunch.
