Blend It Up: 5 Refreshing Fruit Smoothies You Need to Try

Fruit smoothies are not only delicious but also incredibly good for you! Packed with essential nutrients and minerals, they’re perfect when you’re craving something sweet yet healthy. Here are five recipes you need to try for some tasty new flavors! 

Smoothie Base 

Healthy fruit smoothies all consist of the same base ingredients, give or take a few. For the following recipes, add to your blender ½ cup of ice (if using fresh fruits, not frozen), ½ cup of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, and ½ cup of plain or coconut water. This is the base to which you can add a multitude of flavors and really come up with some creative smoothie combinations!  

Strawberry Banana 

You can’t go wrong with a classic. Delicious and packed full of things your body craves, this smoothie flavor is great for adults as well as kids! Add in a few tablespoons of your favorite nut butter for some added protein. 

Begin with the smoothie base, then add ½ cup of strawberries and 1 banana. Blend until smooth, and drink immediately.  

Mango Pineapple 

If you’re in the mood for some tropical flavors, bust out the tiny umbrellas and make this mango-pineapple fusion smoothie.  

Begin with your smoothie base (for full tropical flavor, opt for coconut water). This is also a great smoothie to add protein powder to make it the perfect pre-workout. Then add ½ cups of diced fresh (or frozen) mango and ½ cups of fresh (or canned) diced pineapple. Blend until smooth and serve immediately.  

Spinach And Kiwi 

What’s a better way to start your day than with a power-green smoothie? This green smoothie has amazing antioxidant power and the best taste!   

Begin with the smoothie base and add in one cup of fresh spinach and ½ cup of diced kiwi. Blend until smooth and serve. You can even add some chia seeds or flax seeds to boost this smoothie’s beneficial powers even more.  

Mixed Berry 

This smoothie is so berry good––pun intended. Not only do you get a mouthwatering berry explosion, but you get your daily dose of vitamin C and all the antioxidant power your cells crave.  

Beginning with your smoothie base, add a cup of frozen mixed berries and blend. It’s as simple as can be and absolutely fruity and delicious.  

Peach And Almond 

This is a different type of smoothie mix but the fresh peaches and slivered almonds make this smoothie resemble a dessert versus a meal.   

Start with the smoothie base and add freshly sliced peaches (about ¾ cups) and ¼ cups of slivered almonds. Blend until smooth and enjoy!
