When most people think of smoothies they think of fruit smoothies. They are definitely the most popular type of smoothie. The fruit smoothie recipes below incorporate all of the wonderful fruits mother nature has to offer in a number of delicious combinations.
Mango time! Tickle your taste buds with this simple, yet flavorful and nutritious mango yogurt smoothie.
It seemed like it took an eternity for the mangoes I received in a recent Door to Door Organics delivery to ripen. Once they did, I went to town. There were many parties in my mouth including one from this smoothie :)
Not only are mangoes delicious, they impart some nice health benefits as well. Those health benefits include:
What do you do with a tangerine, lime, and yogurt?
Blend into a delicious and nutritious smoothie, of course.
Besides being tasty little dudes, tangerines offer some nice health benefits such as being high in potassium, vitamin A, and vitamin C (think antioxidants). They’re also a good source of dietary fiber, which improves digestion and promotes regular bowel movements, are good for your skin and hair, and the flavonoids in tangerines provide anticancer properties.
I’m back with another rich, creamy, nutrient-dense smoothie for all you nut lovers.
Trail mix has been my primary vehicle for consuming a variety of delicious and nutritious nuts. Lately, though, I’ve been sprinkling at least one nut into my smoothies to get more nourishing nuts into my diet.
Here are the health benefits of walnuts and the other star ingredient of this smoothie.
There’s nothing quite like a glass of ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Except maybe this citrus smoothie, which is both refreshing and filling.
Starting your day with a little lemon juice and warm water is a proven health strategy. It wakes up your digestive system, flushes toxins, and is hydrating. To change things up and get more lemony goodness (pulp and pith are loaded with nutrition) you can blend the whole thing.
Go to the head of the class by fueling yourself with this delicious and nutritious smoothie!
I love to learn new things, especially regarding nutrition, and have embraced the idea of life-long learning. While I’m not currently attending a formal school, I often have to rush out the door in the morning. This is where smoothies are a life saver for me.
It’s all too common for people to skip breakfast or grab something unhealthy and run out the door. Some days you may be that crunched for time. Most days you have 5-10 minutes to whip up a healthy smoothie that will set the tone for your entire day.
Oh how I love my berries :)
Sprinkled on yogurt or ice cream, in a salad, dehydrated in trail mixes, in pancakes and waffles – there’s no shortage of ways to incorporate these lovelies into your diet.
As you might imagine my preferred method of eating berries is via smoothies.
People often get carried away with sugary fruit in their smoothies creating what I like to call a sugar-bomb. That’s hard to do with berries, which are naturally sweet, but don’t contain too much sugar.
