5 of Our Favorite Healthy & Delicious Smoothie Recipes

Warmer weather means it's time to blend up those cold, nutrient packed smoothies to kick off your day each morning. I asked the Babble Panel to share their most favorite smoothie recipes to get them going and pack a nutrient punch to start the day. Let's blend these babies up!

Shauna's Strawberry Banana Smoothie:

1/2 cup strawberry (frozen or not)
1/2 banana (frozen or not)
2 dashes of cinnamon
1 cup of ice (give or take depending if fruit is frozen)
1/2-1 cup of almond milk
Huge handful of spinach
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
Serving size for collagen protein 4 tablespoons)

Blend baby blend!

Erika's Smoothie:

1 cup frozen berries (Costco's 3 Berry Blend)
1 cup spinach (I buy the “container” at the grocery store or Costco and put it in my freezer - the leaves freeze perfectly and can be used in smoothies or eggs or whatever)
1 cup liquid - I usually do some combo of almond milk (makes it creamy) and a splash of OJ - but you can use water or all juice…whatever sounds good
1 scoop vanilla protein powder

From here you can also add:

1/4 C. oats
1-2 tablespoons sliced almonds
Half an avocado
Peanut butter
Kind of whatever sounds good or depending on what you’re trying to achieve with your diet (ie adding avocado ups your fat, or adding oats will help keep you full).

I will meal prep on Sundays and make little sandwich baggies with 1 cup of the berries + 1 cup of spinach and throw those in my freezer for the week. Makes it easy in the morning to just dump those in my blender, add milk and protein powder and go!
