Greetings to all the berry and pistachio lovers! Welcome to the unique and delicious flavor combination that is this sweetly-tart berry pistachio smoothie. It satisfies both your sweet and salty cravings at once, and in smoothie form no less! It isn’t an overly salty smoothie, though. You won’t feel like you just ate an entire bag of chips after sipping on a tall glass of this tasty creation. The pistachios provide a hint of saltiness that pairs beautifully with the sweet tartness of the raspberries, strawberries, and fresh orange.

Did you know that pistachio intake can be traced back 300,000 years? You commonly see them as a snack nowadays, but you can add them to desserts, salads, trail mixes, and so much more. Besides offering a slightly salty flavor, pistachios offer a long list of health benefits. Pistachios, just like raspberries, strawberries and orange, offer lots of antioxidants that help protect your cells. Researchers note that pistachios contain more antioxidant compounds that other nuts and seeds. They are especially rich in zeaxanthin and lutein, two antioxidants that help protect the eyes from blue light damage and age-related macular degeneration. The polyphenols and tocopherols in pistachios may help protect against heart disease and certain types of cancer.

Believe it or not, this smoothie does not contain banana. Although it doesn’t require one, you can add a banana if you desire. Want your smoothie to be a little thicker? Go ahead and add some more berries and ice cubes during the blending process. If you want to bulk up the smoothie a little, you can add some chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp hearts, or avocado. Feel free to throw in some spinach, but just keep in mind that the color of the smoothie will change.

Smoothies are truly the best. They are cooling, easy to make, and provide you with tons of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and more in one fell swoop. You have to change up your smoothie ingredients in order to diversify your nutrient intake. Incorporate colorful fruits and vegetables, as all of those vibrant colors offer unique antioxidants. This antioxidant-rich beet mango smoothie, for example, has many colors in the rainbow. If you’ve learned anything from us over the years, it’s that we support eating the rainbow, just not Skittles.

To make this smoothie, you begin with mango, which offers a sweet, creamy, tropical base. Add in frozen raspberries for a subtly tart flavor, more antioxidants, and fiber. Next, add chopped beet, but make sure to peel it because that will help reduce the earthy flavor. Beets provide unique antioxidants, which give them their signature dark red color. They also contain folate and nitrites, which the body converts to nitric oxide. In the body, nitric oxide helps to relax blood vessels, increase oxygen and nutrient delivery, and improve muscle efficiency.

The remaining ingredients are carrots and spinach, which we classify as the hidden vegetables in this smoothie. Carrots actually provide a pleasant sweetness and the spinach goes unnoticed, as it does not have a strong flavor. You’ll add fresh lime juice, ginger, and mint to really brighten up the flavor of the whole smoothie. Just blend it up until it reaches your desired consistency and then enjoy!

Drinking a smoothie is one of the best ways to get a healthy dose of fruits and veggies in one fell swoop. The best thing about this smoothie is that it tastes like a milkshake. It’s as though you are not even drinking something healthy, but then you see the ingredients and realize that each one exhibits impressive health benefits. This smoothie is as chocolaty as it is healthy, offering lots of protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Unlike most smoothies, this chocolate creation does not have a banana base; rather it uses avocado, which enhances the creaminess. Don’t worry, though, your smoothie will not taste like a large cup of guacamole. You will not even know that the avocado is in the smoothie because the raw cacao powder, fresh raspberries, grade A maple syrup, vanilla extract, and homemade almond milk mask the avocado’s mild flavor. To help enhance the level of creaminess, we suggest that you cube the avocado and freeze it overnight. Now, some stores sell frozen avocado, which you can have while cleansing, so long as there are no preservatives or added sweeteners.

The key with this smoothie is getting the right consistency. You can always add some ice if the smoothie is too thin, or a little extra almond milk if the smoothie is too thick. Feel like you need some extra fiber in your life? Consider adding a tablespoon or less of chia seeds of flax seeds. Need it to be sweeter, add a squeeze of maple syrup at a time and taste until it reaches your desired level of sweetness. You may not even need the sweetener, but that depends on your taste preferences. The main thing is that we hope you enjoy this delicious creation.

Get ready for a breakfast smoothie that gives you energy and aids digestive function. Bananas help provide you with healthy carbs, while the ginger and cinnamon encourage optimal immune function. Some studies have found that both cinnamon and ginger work to boost metabolism as well. Even though ginger and cinnamon are intense spices, the sweet banana and creamy homemade almond milk help to mellow those flavors. The key ingredients for the smoothie are as detailed below:

Banana: According to several studies, consuming bananas may help improve digestion. Researchers attribute this to the resistant starch, the type of fiber in unripe bananas. It is a prebiotic, which escapes digestion and ends up in the large intestine. Once they are in the large intestine, they become healthy bacteria that feed the probiotics in your gut. Additionally, the pectin in bananas may help you avoid constipation and soften stools.

Ginger: Including ginger in your diet may help reduce fermentation, constipation, and other causes of intestinal gas and bloating. Various studies confirm that ginger helps relieve nausea by encouraging stomach emptying. Both fresh ginger and ginger powder offer the same health benefits. That said, fresh ginger does not have as long a shelf life, so you must refrigerate or freeze it to help preserve it.

Cinnamon: Cinnamon is probably one of the best fall seasonings. It exhibits impressive antioxidant activity and can help regulate blood sugar levels. Plus, helps to add a warm aromatic flavor to the smoothie.

If you feel like you want to jazz up the smoothie a little more, feel free to add a pinch of turmeric, some raw cacao powder, and one or two dates to enhance sweetness.

A date shake is a milkshake made with dates and it is a signature recipe of the Coachella Valley, which is where 95% of the countries dates grow.

Basically, this smoothie is a flavor and health bomb, so get to drinking! There’s no time to delay!

Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons and invites a lot of unique produce items. A lot of those ingredients lend themselves to hearty soups and stews, but there are quite a few that go great in smoothies. And yes, you can still enjoy smoothies even when the mornings are a little colder. This immune-boosting persimmon smoothie is loaded with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C. It is a great smoothie that may help boost digestive health and enhance immune function for cold and flu season.

Persimmons have a limited window of availability, so make sure you get them while the gettin’s good. There are two persimmon varieties: Fuyu and Hachiya. The former is a non-astringent persimmon and tends to be more popular, as they are usually sweeter than the latter (Hachiya), which is an oblong fruit can be bitter until ripe. For reference, Hachiya persimmons are more common in baked goods, such as persimmon bread, and infrequently used in raw or fresh preparations. You can enjoy Fuyu persimmons out of hand, just like apples. Today, California growers produce about 10,000 tons of Fuyu persimmons every fall.

Although this is a persimmon-forward smoothie, it contains other nutrient-dense ingredients, including mandarins and ginger. Both of those ingredients contain immune-boosting properties, in addition to anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Finally, to make the smoothie creamy and delicious, you have homemade almond milk. That’s the real game changer of this recipe. Homemade almond milk offers a unique nuttiness and creaminess that you don’t get from processed store bought varieties. Enjoy!

Don’t let the look of this smoothie deter you! It looks like a chocolate berry milkshake, but it offers the incredible health benefits that you could never find anywhere near a milkshake. Meet the chocolate avocado berry smoothie, a deliciously creamy blend that packs a seriously nutritional punch!

Does the small scoop of raw cacao powder scare you? Don’t let the deep, chocolatey richness of cacao steer you away from this smoothie. You won’t taste the subtle bitterness because the banana and maple syrup provide enough natural sweetness. What you end up with is a delightful chocolate flavor that harmonizes perfectly with the buttery texture of ripe avocado. If you want to live dangerously, finish this smoothie with an extra drizzle of maple syrup and dash of raw cacao powder on top. Not only is it highly refreshing and filling, but it also tastes amazing. We hope you love this as much as we do!

We did it, folks. We managed to list every single ingredient in the title of this recipe, minus the ginger water. Now, there are many things that people should tell you in this life. Such instances include:

• When your zipper is down
• When your shirt is inside out
• If a pocket on your purse or backpack is open
• If you have toilet paper on your shoe
• When you have a giant booger hanging out of your nose

These are just things that people should tell you. You know what else people should tell you? It’s that beets are incredible. Not only are they good for you, but they also taste great and go great in juices, smoothies, salads, or roasted vegetable medleys. Chances are that if you were never exposed to beets, you don’t include them in your diet. They have a reputation of tasting like dirt, but that’s only if you do not know how to prepare them.

In the case of this beet smoothie, you hardly notice the earthy flavor. That is because you blend them with other sweet and tangy ingredients, including carrots, oranges, and bananas. Carrots, oranges, and beets make for an excellent trio, but you need the banana to help make the smoothie creamy. The banana also lends another element of sweetness to this beet smoothie. Want to make an even creamier smoothie? Freeze the banana pieces overnight before blending them.
