Spinach Banana Berry Blast
This is my own personal favorite smoothie recipe, and it's perfect for a hot day or when you're craving something sweet with a healthy kick.
I like to add a good sized hand full of organic mixed greens of Kale, Spinach, and Arugula to every serving, you can add more or less depending on how you like it.
I like to use Orange Juice (not from concentrate) for my base. If you want to switch it up a bit I recommend trying some low-sugar coconut water, or for lower calories and more creaminess try Almond Milk.
Experiment with my recipes! Just grab a bag of frozen mixed berries from the grocery store and have fun with this one. You can substitute the berries for any other frozen fruit, so get creative as it's (almost) impossible to go wrong.

Body and Mind Smoothie
This is the "Go-To" healthy smoothie! It has a little bit of everything to help you through the day. It's low in Calories and Sugar which makes it a perfect weight loss smoothie but still satisfies those sweet tooth cravings.
Cucumbers and Kale have high alkalinity, improving the amount of oxygen your blood can take in. Raw Lemon Juice is an amazing Anti-oxidant and has many health benefits. Add some berries and fruit for your one-two anti-oxidant punch, and what you have is a fantastic way to start your day, or re-energize yourself for the evening.

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Smoothie
Greek yogurt adds a richness to each smoothie, making it more like a creamy dessert. If it's a bit too thick for your liking try just adding a splash of water or some ice.
You can also try Greek yogurt flavored with honey to add a bit of natural sweetness to your smoothie (or just add a teaspoon of honey before you blend).
Greek Yogurt adds probiotics and protein to the mix, it's also lower in lactose than regular yogurt (which is good news if you're lactose sensitive like me). It also adds a nice boost of vitamins B6 and B12, protein, calcium, potassium, and zinc.

Avacado Dream Smoothie
You're going to love this one, seriously. This one is packed with so much good stuff and a lot of feel good greens. Pick the berry of your choice, or (my personal fav) get a bag of frozen mixed berries of blackberries, strawberries, cherries, and blueberries and toss them in.
The Avocado adds some extra calories here (since it's packed with healthy fatty acids). If you're watching those calories though go with just half an avocado or half a banana.

Tropical Berry Blast
You're probably going to look at this one and think hmm.. This looks a lot like Berry Blast. But there's a key difference here: Mangos! This feeds into my mango addiction perfectly.
Also, change out the OJ for some Almond milk to make it extra creamy. Add a little Spinach or Kale and you got a heavenly-healthy mix.
