Super Smoothie Recipes

October 21, 2021 By Anastasia Burton

Smoothies are wonderful drinks filled with nutrition and flavour and are bound to get your senses tingling and your tongues wagging. Smoothies have been known to help with detoxing your body but also supplying us with nutrients and helping those with certain food restrictions. Smoothies are an overall delight. Whether they are veggie or fruity, your tummy will thank you and your wallet will not suffer. I have decided to share some of my favourites with you today so you can try them at home and feel like those lifestyle TikTokers who seem to feed on air, sunlight and fruit smoothies.

Strawberry Banana

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup strawberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)

Berry Smoothie

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 cup mixed frozen berries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Greek yoghurt
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)
  • Sweetener to taste (I like to add a little honey to this one to sweeten up the cocoa a bit)

Cherry Pomegranate Detox Smoothie

  • 1/2 a frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup sour cherries
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds (arils)
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)

Green Smoothie

  • 1/2 a frozen banana
  • 1/2 cup green grapes
  • 1 kiwi, peeled
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • 1 cup unsweetened milk (nut, soy, animal)

Instructions for all Smoothies:

  1. Add all ingredients for one of your chosen smoothies into the jar of your blender.
  2. Place the lid onto the blender and blend until there are no chunks (unless you want chunks).

Hope you enjoyed today’s recipes.
