This spinach, banana, and almond butter smoothie tastes like it was made for a superhero. Although it doesn’t give you the ability to fly or superman-like strength, it does supercharge your body with healthy fats, protein, fiber, and more. Spinach, although it colors the smoothie green, takes a back seat to the sweetness of the banana and nuttiness of the almond butter. There’s no way to be sure, but legend has it that your taste buds do a little dance after every slurp because the smoothie is that tasty! The almond butter really adds that extra oomph of flavor, so much so that you’ll be slurping it down faster than you can say “superfood.”

Where do we begin in regards to the health benefits? This smoothie is like a professional shot to the liver, but in the best way possible. Spinach is full of iron and fiber, which works to keep you satiated and fuller for longer. Bananas offer a lot of a potassium, which not only works to keep sodium levels down, but also aids muscle recovery. The almond butter is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, not to mention nutty goodness. When you add all of those ingredients together, even though it isn’t the longest list of ingredients, you end up with a tasty, nutritious smoothie. One glass may even have you feeling like Popeye! Just be sure to brush your teeth after because you don’t want to walk around with spinach in your teeth all day.

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.

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.

It’s common for people to think that signature fall recipes only come in the form of hearty stews or baked desserts. You can incorporate fall produce items into just about any recipe. From smoothies and energy bites to soups and salads, fall produce is very versatile. You have so many amazing produce items to choose from during the fall season, opening a new portal to deliciousness.

Apples happen to be some of the best fall produce items, and there are so many varieties available. This salad calls for one Gala apple and one Granny Smith apple, but you can use Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady if you want to change up the flavor profile. The reason this recipe calls for two types of apples is to create a sweet and tart flavor profile. Additionally, the sweeter dried cranberries create a harmonious marriage of flavor. When you purchase dried cranberries, it’s integral to select the variety that does not contain preservatives or added sugars. So many dried cranberries are unhealthy because manufacturers add too much sugar and sulfur dioxide. Don’t buy those because they are not cleanse-approved. Plus, they aren’t healthy.

The great thing about a spinach salad is that it feels light, yet it fills you up. The fiber and fatty acids from the walnuts also help to keep you full, but you won’t feel weighed down. The tart apple cider vinaigrette works well with the ingredients in this recipe, accentuating the festive fall produce.

Every now and again, you just need a break from hot meals. The summer heat can make you feel tired, sluggish, and eating heavy, hot meals doesn’t counteract those feelings. In fact, eating heavier meals with lots of carbs and calories uses up the body’s energy stores. The body uses most of its energy for digestion, leaving you feeling as though you cannot move. Don’t be that person when there are so many healthier options available to you, much like this recipe.

Zucchini noodles are an excellent gluten-free, raw vegan alternative to pasta. You can eat them cold or hot, but this recipe does not call for cooking. Now, you need a vegetable spiralizer if you want to enjoy zucchini noodles. Zucchini noodles are available for purchase in most grocery stores, but they can be more expensive than the zucchini itself. A simple spiralizer is cost effective and easy to use. It’s best to get the one with a hand crank that you can stick to your countertop while in use. Handheld varieties can be tricky to use, so don’t go for those ones, unless you already have one that works for you.

You’ll notice that the sauce is oil-free and gluten-free. The vibrant green comes from the spinach, which doesn’t have an assertive flavor. The nutritional yeast and mint leaves make up for it though, offering subtle notes of cheesy and herbaceous flavors. Using cashews in the sauce adds body, but they also add amazing texture, which is reminiscent of a classic pesto sauce.

First of all, if you are new to the world of green smoothies, welcome. It’s good to have you here. One of the first things to know about this green smoothie is that it offers a wide range of nutrients. If you glanced at the ingredient list, you saw spinach, flax seeds, and raw almond butter. All three of those ingredients offer lots of protein, magnesium, and dietary fiber, which helps to move food through the digestive tract. They also offer other nutrients like iron, potassium, and powerful antioxidants.

If you are aiming to keep your figure during the summer months, this smoothie is for you. Not only does it help to keep you full, but it may even help keep unhealthy cravings at bay. You may even notice that drinking it for breakfast helps you sustain energy levels throughout the day.

Adding a little color to your salads is never a bad idea. In case you aren’t familiar with our “eat the rainbow” motto, you’re about to become well-acquainted. The more colorful produce items you eat, the more antioxidants you provide your body. That means more nourishment for your cells and a reduced risk of oxidative stress.

For this salad, the ingredients are quite simple, but the tropical flavors come to the forefront. The grapefruit offers a wonderful zest that complements the inherent sweetness of the mango. Spinach serves as the perfect base because it has a relatively neutral flavor. It goes great with most ingredients, especially the lime vinaigrette. In fact, the lime dressing brings out the natural flavors of all the ingredients. Lastly, both the lime juice and the apple cider vinegar work to promote better alkaline levels in the body.

What’s the key to a great smoothie? Some say that it has to be packed with protein, while others won’t sip it if it doesn’t contain at least one superfood. Ultimately, the perfect smoothie is a blend of three categories. It has to be wonderfully refreshing, rich in a variety of vitamins and minerals, and the ingredient list should be minimal. The last category isn’t definitive, but fewer ingredients makes it easier when it comes time to blend the smoothie.

This smoothie has a lot of great qualities. You get the healthy fats and protein from the cashew butter and avocado. The spinach offers a healthy dose of iron, vitamin K, and magnesium. The best part is that this smoothie is wonderfully nutty and flavorful. Please don’t think it tastes like freshly cut grass because it doesn’t. We have other recipes like that, but that’s not this one. If you like this smoothie and want to have more recipes like it, please let us know in the comments.
