There’s honestly no better feeling than throwing a bunch of ingredients into a blender and ending up with a delicious treat after a few seconds. Smoothies are such an easy way to get a daily dose of fruits and vegetables without feeling like you’re being forced to eat them. Frankly, smoothies are basically the lazy person’s ticket to eating greens—and there are a ridiculously high number of delicious and healthy smoothie recipes out there just waiting to get made. It truly cannot get much easier than combining fruits, vegetables and other tasty ingredients into one machine and letting it do the work for you.
Whenever I drink a smoothie, I feel like I am a picture of health. I don’t think there’s been a time where I’ve made a green smoothie and not shown it off to all my Instagram followers to prove that I do sometimes eat a vegetable. Of course, the “classic” smoothie recipes I have made up from whatever is lurking in my fridge and freezer sometimes don’t cut it. Occasionally I want to make a more intentional smoothie—which is where all the healthy smoothie recipes come into play.
Because there are so many amazing healthy smoothie recipes out there, I rounded up 13 to start with ASAP. From mango smoothies with boba (!!!) to a healthy cocoa smoothie (!!!!) these recipes are sure to fill up your smoothie-making arsenal with all the ammo you need. Next time you’re ready to throw everything in a blender and let it fly, consider trying something new. It might even be so delicious you’ll forget to post it on Instagram first. (Maybe.)
