3 Smooth Operators
Whether you’re starting your day or looking for an afternoon pick-me-up, smoothies can be a great grab-and-go option. They are a delicious way to help you get the fruits and veggies—and the energy—you need. But it can be hard to find the right flavor combos—and it’s easy to turn a smoothie into a dessert if you’re not careful! Here is a colorful trio of new recipes to shake up your smoothie routine.
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Could this one get any easier? A little water, a banana, some frozen blueberries, and chia seeds get blended together for a boost of flavor, nutrients, and vibrant color.
Carrot Ginger Smoothie
Bet you never tried making a carrot smoothie at home! This dairy-free recipe calls for grated carrots, fresh fragrant ginger, sweet pitted dates, frozen pineapple, and peeled oranges. Blend everything with water and ice cubes for a frosty, fruity morning eye-opener.
Kale Pineapple Smoothie
It’s easy going green when you have a green smoothie this tasty! It’s made with banana, pineapple, apple, and leafy kale. Here’s a bonus tip: If you wash and freeze the kale ahead of time, the leaves will break up more easily in your blender, making your smoothie—well—smoother!
