It’s hard to beat this recipe for quick and easy strawberry smoothies. All you need is five ingredients and five minutes. It’s versatile too: you can use any unsweetened milk for creaminess, your preferred yogurt, and the maple syrup or honey is optional. The vanilla extract acts as a great flavor backdrop that will work with most fruits. Get blending!



Banana-Mango Smoothie

Start your day with a flavorful fruit smoothie. This smoothie is as delicious as breakfast, but also serves well as an afternoon snack or even a frosty dessert.



Mixed-Berry Breakfast Smoothie


Clara Gonzalez

Smoothies are popular for breakfast, but many don’t have enough calories or nutrients to be considered a complete meal. This creamy berry smoothie has the perfect balance of protein, carbohydrates and fat, and will keep you satisfied until your next meal.



Cherry-Mocha Smoothie


For a fast-paced breakfast on the go, give your blender a whirl. Heart disease doesn’t stand a chance thanks to the healthy fats from the almond butter and health-boosting phytonutrients in the cocoa powder and cherries in this tasty breakfast smoothie.



Raspberry-Kefir Power Smoothie


Keeping ripe peeled bananas in your freezer means you’re always just one step away from a healthy smoothie. Kefir, peanut butter and flaxmeal add protein, probiotics and healthy fats.



Pumpkin Pie Smoothie


This healthy smoothie recipe has all the flavor of a pumpkin spice latte without all the sugar. Made with real pumpkin and frozen banana, this whips into a creamy, luscious grab-&-go breakfast (or snack) in just 5 minutes.



Mango & Spinach Smoothie


Casey Barber

The sweet-tart taste of mango comes through in this simple smoothie, giving the tropical fruit the spotlight it deserves. Make it a mango morning!



Blueberry-Banana Smoothie (Batido)


Refreshing and colorful fruit smoothies called batidos are served at Cuban snack bars all over Florida–try this recipe with blueberries and banana for a vacation in a cup.



Berry-Mint Kefir Smoothies


Kefir is similar to yogurt, full of gut-friendly probiotics. But it has fewer carbs and a more drinkable consistency–perfect for smoothies.



Fruit & Yogurt Smoothie


This easy fruit smoothie recipe calls for just three ingredients: yogurt, fruit juice and frozen fruit. Mix up your fruit combinations from day to day for a healthy breakfast or snack that never gets boring.



Strawberry-Banana Green Smoothie


This green smoothie recipe is sweetened only with fruit and gets an extra dose of healthy omega-3s from flaxseeds.



Blackberry Smoothie


Fred Hardy

This blackberry smoothie has plenty of fresh berry flavor and sweetness from banana and honey. And with only 5 minutes from start to finish, it’s the perfect breakfast for busy mornings. If fresh blackberries aren’t available, feel free to use frozen in this easy and healthy smoothie.



3-Ingredient Tropical Tangerine & Kefir Smoothie


Carolyn Hodges, M.S., RDN

Refreshing and fruity, this simple smoothie calls for just three ingredients—frozen tropical fruit, plain kefir and tangerine juice. Kefir is a perfect swap for milk in smoothies. It adds creaminess and a boost of probiotics. If you can’t find tangerine juice, swap in orange juice.



Spinach-Avocado Smoothie


This healthy green smoothie gets super creamy from the frozen banana and avocado. Make ahead (up to 1 day) and store it in the fridge until you need a veggie boost.



Red Berry Smoothies


These smoothies are full of raspberries and strawberries and make a delicious breakfast or snack.



Raspberry-Peach-Mango Smoothie Bowl

Kale & Pineapple Smoothie


Casey Barber

Treat yourself to a piña colada-style pick-me-up with this tropical smoothie featuring pineapple, coconut milk and orange juice. It’s perfect for a light breakfast or anytime you want a boost!



Berry Orange Smoothie


Jennifer Causey

Keeping a bag of frozen mixed berries on hand is a great way to ensure you get a daily dose, and frozen berries are often less expensive than fresh. Plus they make smoothies a cinch: they can go straight from the freezer to the blender.



Chocolate-Peanut Butter Protein Shake


This creamy high-protein shake will keep you satisfied for hours and tastes like a chocolate-peanut butter banana milkshake. You don’t even need to add protein powder, thanks to the naturally occurring protein in the soymilk, Greek yogurt and peanut butter.



Berry & Flax Smoothie


For the prettiest color, use a mixture of berries with a lot of blueberries in this healthy smoothie recipe. Flaxseed oil adds heart-healthy omega-3 fats, making this a serious power smoothie.



Strawberry-Banana Smoothies


Jacob Fox

This healthy strawberry banana smoothie gets creaminess, protein and staying power from yogurt and extra vitamin C from kiwi. Have it for a healthy breakfast or snack.



Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie


Skip the PB & J sandwich but get the flavors in this healthy smoothie! Greek yogurt, spinach and strawberries are blended with peanut butter in this healthy, protein-rich smoothie recipe.



Watermelon-Strawberry Smoothie


Strawberry and watermelon combine in this easy, 4-ingredient healthy fruit smoothie recipe.



Wake-Up Smoothie

Acai-Blueberry Smoothie Bowl
