A smoothie without a banana? Believe it or not, you don’t have to include banana in every smoothie you make. Yes, bananas offer sweetness and can help your smoothie achieve a smoother, creamier texture, but they aren’t always necessary. That is especially true if you are trying to watch your sugar intake. You can usually achieve the same creamy consistency by using avocado instead of bananas. This smoothie doesn’t have either of those creamy ingredients, but it does fulfill 273% of your recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamin C, 62% of calcium, and 273% of vitamin A.

This green smoothie tastes of kale, but not overwhelmingly to the point where it tastes like lawn clippings. The sweetness of the apple and bright lemon juice work well to tone it down. Without the banana, the flavor of the apple really comes through. Plus, the addition of the almond butter adds a nutty, fatty component that takes your focus off the slightly bitter kale flavor. Just make sure that you remove the thick kale stems, or you’ll be enjoying a kale apple smoothie that really tastes like bitter kale.

To make this smoothie, simply add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth. The homemade almond milk will do a great job at creating a creamier consistency. It also builds on the nuttiness of the almond butter and does a better job than water at distracting from the kale flavor. We hope you love it!

As spring approaches, it’s time to welcome bright and refreshing flavors. The warmer weather makes you want flavors that represent the warmth. That usually means more tropical fruits and less hearty ingredients. For this reason, we concocted a smoothie that contains apples, mangos, carrots, and chia seeds. To avoid having a completely fruit-forward smoothie, we added the carrot, which provides extra vitamin A and carotenoids.

Even though this smoothie contains chia seeds, it doesn’t turn into chia pudding, primarily because it doesn’t have the proper chia seed to liquid ratio. Plus, even if the ratio was exact, the mixture would need time to set. You will drink this smoothie right away, so you don’t have to worry about taking a spoon to this smoothie. This smoothie is on the thicker side, though, but you can always add a little more homemade almond milk if you want a smoothie that isn’t as thick.

The key to this smoothie is to cube the mango ahead of time and freeze the cubes overnight. The frozen mango chunks will provide that creaminess that would otherwise come from a banana, which this smoothie does not have. The homemade almond milk also makes this smoothie a bit creamier, almost giving it a creamsicle- or milkshake-like texture.

A Fruit smoothie with spinach is one of the easiest, healthiest ways to start your day. Since most people have difficulty consuming the recommended amount of vegetable servings, front-loading the day with veggies is a great way to get ahead in that department. Plus, a fruit and vegetable smoothie is just so darn tasty, especially when it contains the ingredients in this recipe.

The great thing about this spinach green apple smoothie is that you can taste each ingredient, yet the combination is a beautifully balanced blend. You get notes of sweet and sour because of the zesty Granny Smith apple. If you do not enjoy the flavor profile of a Granny Smith, feel free to choose an apple variety that you enjoy. Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala, Golden Delicious, or even Sugarbee apples make great substitutes for the Granny Smith. That said, the slightly tart nature of the Granny Smith pairs beautifully with the tropical sweetness of the mango.

If something compels you to add another healthy ingredient to this simple four-ingredient smoothie, so be it! Chia seeds, hemp seeds, flax seeds, or even raw almond butter make great additions. Plus, they provide extra protein, fiber, and healthy fats, all of which help satiate you until your next meal. You’ll notice that this does not contain banana, and that was a purposeful decision. Should you want to include banana in this smoothie, you can absolutely do that!

A lot of people are on the juicing train, focusing on celery and beet juices. While these juices are beneficial in moderation, they don’t provide the same fiber and satiety that smoothies do. Plus, you have to use a lot more produce to make juices than you do to make smoothies. So not only do smoothies require less ingredients, but they are also more filling. You can always enjoy a juice here and there, but we endorse smoothies more than juices, in case you were wondering.

This spinach, avocado, and apple smoothie is very easy to make and provides the body with healthy fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. You need iron, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids? This smoothie has those nutrients. You need fiber, magnesium, and vitamin C? You found your go-to smoothie with this recipe! Don’t worry about the avocado in the smoothie because it doesn’t impart any flavor. The sweetness of the banana and apple take center stage, distracting your taste buds from the spinach and avocado. Surprisingly, you don’t taste the spinach, which is why it’s the best green to include in smoothies, especially if you’re new to green smoothies.

This recipe makes quite a generous serving or two, so you can freeze some of it to enjoy the following day, share it with someone, or enjoy all of it yourself. Enjoying the entire smoothie by yourself is encouraged if you are cleansing, as you’ll need the sustenance. It is very flavorful without being calorically dense. Sip to your health!

Carrots and apples go great together in juices, so it stands to reason that they make a heavenly match in a smoothie. The results are in: they work great together in this smoothie. It may seem odd to add carrot to a smoothie, but the inherent sweetness works well with other sweet ingredients like apple and banana. The cinnamon makes it taste reminiscent of a fall dessert, while the clementine adds a refreshing, zesty flare.

Because carrots are woody, they may not blend easily if you do not have a great blender. Even then, you may wind up with little chunks of carrot in your smoothie if you just chop them willy nilly. For this reason, we recommend grating your carrots prior to blending them. Whether or not you peel them is entirely up to you, but at least wash them before you grate them. It is entirely based on personal preference.

Although you can taste the carrot, it isn’t an overpowering flavor. The creaminess of the homemade almond milk, coupled with the sweetness of the banana and apple, makes the carrot flavor almost non-existent. If you want a little more healthy fats, toss in some ground flaxseed or chia seeds. And a little scoop of raw almond butter never hurt!

With the holiday celebrations in full swing, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. There are never-ending to-do lists, parties to attend, last-minute gifts to purchase, and activities to entertain the kids on holiday break. All of that running around creates the perfect storm to eat unhealthy fast food meals. Instead of resorting to fast food, especially in the mornings, make a quick nutritious smoothie to fuel you up with energy, antioxidants, fiber, and more. Plus, the great thing about this smoothie is that that boost of energy doesn’t come with a sugar crash later.

This smoothie only requires a handful of ingredients, and it comes together in minutes. The natural sweetness of the banana and maple syrup perfectly balance the tartness of the cranberries. A dash of cinnamon adds a nice spicy kick and a little winter coziness to your smoothie. Plus, that cinnamon pairs perfectly with the apple, banana, and cranberries. It almost makes this smoothie taste like a holiday dessert or treat.

Make sure to use fresh cranberries for your smoothie if you can find them! Cranberries are loaded with vitamin C, which is great to have during the winter when the common cold and flu are all too common. They are only in season for a short while, so some stores may or may not have them. If you cannot find fresh cranberries, frozen cranberries are perfectly acceptable to use, so long as they do not contain preservatives or added sugars.

Is fall your favorite season? Sweater weather is here and so are fall flavors, including lots of pumpkin- and apple-inspired dishes. Something about fall puts you in a better, more optimistic mood. There is something special about those crisp mornings and the ability to start enjoying hotter food. But colder weather doesn’t mean that you have to completely forget about smoothies, especially when they taste as good as this fall-inspired creation.

This smoothie is the epitome of healthy eating. With a refreshing, zesty flavor, this smoothie is the perfect balance of the essentials: sweetness, greens, vitamins, and minerals. One bonus of drinking this smoothie is that you’ll get a little metabolism boost, which you can attribute to the ginger. Ginger exhibits several compounds that assist with weight loss. According to studies, these compounds are involved in the complex bodily processes that burn and store fat.

Because this smoothie contains lots of powerful flavors, the best liquid to use is water. No juice or dairy-free milk is necessary. In fact, those liquids may create an unpleasant flavor. The only other additions to the smoothie, besides the ingredients in the name, are raw agave nectar and ice. You can omit the agave if you want, but it adds a subtle sweetness that makes for a more enjoyable drinking experience. The ice is necessary to yield that classic, chilled smoothie consistency. Failure to blend ice with the ingredients will likely yield a watery smoothie that has minimal texture.

The last, and possible most important, note about this smoothie is that you need to discard the thick, fibrous kale stems. You want to tear the leaves away from the thick, central stems because they have an unpleasant, bitter taste. That flavor will come through, even if you blend them with the other powerful ingredients in this recipe. Just trust us on this one, okay? We hope you love the smoothie and cheers to your health!
