Kiwis are great because they offer more vitamin C than oranges. They exhibit a slightly tart flavor with a sweet undertone, which comes through in this green anti-inflammatory smoothie. Some people don’t like their signature tartness, but blending them into smoothies with other ingredients may help sway that decision.

For this smoothie, the citrusy sweetness from the orange complements the signature kiwi flavor. The banana and raw agave nectar add a pleasant sweetness to balance the tart flavors. Even though this smoothie looks like blended grass clippings, the taste is far from that. In fact, you can always add a touch more agave if you prefer a sweeter smoothie. Just don’t go overboard with the agave because you don’t want this smoothie to be a sugar bomb, even if the agave is a natural sweetener.

Spinach is a great green to add to your smoothies because it doesn’t have a strong flavor. Add other fruit or nut butters, for example, to a spinach smoothie will completely hide the mild leafy green.

What is it about bananas that makes them so incredible? Besides their sweet and addicting flavor, bananas exhibit an impressive nutritional profile that’s lost on most people. The unfortunate reality is that many people think bananas are unhealthy because they are high in carbohydrates. The other nutrients in bananas outweigh the carb content!

Bananas are loaded with fiber and potassium, both of which contribute to optimal heart function. Potassium is also necessary for healthy kidney function, playing a role in preventing kidney disease. Fiber, in addition to lowering cholesterol levels, helps to keep you full, which may help with weight management. You can also count on fiber to help keep you regular.

Bananas don’t deserve all the attention, as they aren’t the only nutritional powerhouse in this smoothie. Kiwis are small fruits that pack a lot of flavor, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds. They happen to be some of the richest sources of vitamin C, which works to protect your cells from oxidative stress. Kiwis also contain lutein, zeaxanthin, and beta-carotene, three plant compounds that may protect against heart disease, among other health conditions. Finally, adding kiwi to your diet may reduce your risk of high blood pressure. If those nutritional benefits sound good to you, wait until you taste this smoothie! You’re going to love it!

We are back with another smoothie recipe because the weather is warm and you need refreshing flavors! This smoothie combines tart and refreshing kiwi with creamy banana and zesty lime. It may seem like an atypical combination, but these flavors pair beautifully with each other. Control your level of citrus by using as little or as much lime juice as you want. There’s no wrong way to go about this recipe because the goal is to create something that you enjoy.

Too often do smoothies contain strawberries and spinach. Not today, people! Well, we wouldn’t be opposed to throwing a handful of spinach into this smoothie, but that’s entirely up to you. Keep in mind that it will change the color of the smoothie, though. Kiwi is an underutilized ingredient in smoothie recipes, but it makes a great addition, both for the flavor and for the nutrients it offers. One cup of kiwi fruit contains 552 mg of potassium, which is more than a small banana, and more than 270% of the recommended daily value (DV) of vitamin C. Additionally, it offers five grams of fiber and 89% of the DV of vitamin K, which aids blood clotting and the absorption of vitamin D.

One thing to note is that some people develop and itchy mouth after eating kiwis. This is due to the seeds, of which there are a lot in a kiwi fruit. If you know that you have this sensitivity, you can cut the outer flesh of the kiwi and omit the center part with the seeds. Should you go down that road, you’ll have to use more kiwis to make up for parts that you aren’t eating. We hope you enjoy this tropical smoothie!

A good smoothie will refresh the palate and provide the body with a dietary fiber to ease digestion. A great smoothie will give you a boost in energy and make you feel like you can take on the world. Will this smoothie do the latter? It’s very possible that it will, but you’ll have to slurp it up in order to find out.

The ingredients distinguish an ordinary smoothie from a great one, and the ingredients in this smoothie don’t slouch in the nutritional department. With just five simple ingredients, you can blend up a low-carb, raw vegan, fiber-rich smoothie. Even though it has spinach, you predominantly taste the sweet and tart combination of the kiwi and blueberries. Plus, the homemade almond milk adds a subtle nuttiness and creaminess that almost turns this smoothie into somewhat of a healthy milkshake, dairy-free of course.

When it comes to this smoothie, the ingredients satisfy the three F’s: fruit, fat, and fiber. Fruit helps to make a “healthy” smoothie more palatable and provides a kiss of sweetness and powerful antioxidants. Fiber is integral for optimal digestion, helping to move food through the digestive tract with ease. Finally, fat is not the enemy you think it is. Trans fats and saturated fats are not healthy, but there are many healthy fats that contribute to optimal heart and brain health. The omega-3 fatty acids in chia seeds do just that!

We hope you enjoy the tart, sweet, and earthy flavors that come through in every sip. It’s refreshing and works as a nutritious breakfast or post-workout snack.

Some people don’t feel that smoothie recipes are necessary. There are smoothie masters, who simply throw different ingredients in a blender and a magical, flavorful creation is the result. Some people, however, are less familiar with produce combinations. It can take time to learn what fruits and vegetables play well with each other, in regards to flavor. And then there are those who simply don’t care if a smoothie tastes like lawn clippings.

We’d rather not drink the juice of fresh cut grass, which is why we like to bring you flavorful smoothies that are love at first sip. That’s the case with this smoothie, which has both sweet and tart flavors. Golden kiwi is juicy and sweet and green apples have a classically tart bite. The banana gives the smoothie a wonderfully creamy texture and adds another layer of sweetness. You don’t really taste the spinach, which is why it’s an excellent leafy green to incorporate in smoothies, especially if you are new to green smoothies. Spinach is naturally rich in protein, iron, fiber, and magnesium, making it an excellent addition to your smoothie. Don’t fear the green!

If you want to feel as invincible as a superhero, you need to eat an assortment of super foods. All of the ingredients in this smoothie have incredible health benefits, and there are scientific studies and evidence to prove it. Several studies found that apples help to benefit cardiovascular health, and assist with regulating blood sugar. Researchers found that a single kiwi fulfills 100% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C. As most of you know, vitamin C is beneficial for immune function, but it also encourages collagen production. Both ginger and kale have powerful anti-inflammatory properties that support detoxification pathways in the body. All of this is to say that this smoothie is incredibly healthy!

The golden kiwi doesn’t get a lot of love, despite the fact that it has a variety of nutrients. Aside from the color difference, the golden kiwi has smoother skin, fewer seeds, and a sweeter flavor than the regular green kiwi. On a nutritional level, the golden kiwi has more vitamin C than the regular green kiwi. In fact, one golden kiwi has three times more vitamin C than an orange does!

Golden kiwi may be the featured ingredient in this smoothie, but we can’t ignore the other two ingredients: pineapple and turmeric. Pineapple contains beneficial digestive enzymes, vitamin C, and antioxidants that boost immune function. Turmeric needs no introduction. It’s a heavy hitter in the world of health and wellness. It’s known for the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties, and everyone should include it in their diet.
