Top-Rated Healthy Smoothie Recipes
Based on community ratings and reviews on all our smoothies, these are the most blended and most loved healthy smoothie recipes. I like to call smoothies the healthiest fast food since they take just minutes to make and can literally fill me up like a meal. Which one of these gorgeous beauties are you blending today?
How to Blend a Healthy Smoothie
I like to follow what we call the 60/40 method for blending: 60% fruits & 40% leafy greens. This balance gives me the best of both worlds: a delicious, drinkable smoothie loaded with nutrients. Who wouldn’t want that perfect combo on a daily basis?
One serving of the perfect green smoothie is:
- Fruit= 1 1/2 cups
- Leafy greens, like spinach or kale= 1 cup
- Liquid, like water or another liquid base= 1 cup
Every ingredient in Simple Green Smoothie is intentional yet all result in delicious, drinkable creations that make adding to our daily routine a breeze. The fruit and leafy green combinations are endless. That’s why it’s so easy to add in this healthy habit, no matter where you live.
If you choose a non-green smoothie, that’s okay too! I use smoothies like the Chocolate Peanut Butter one above for natural energy before or after a workout. The Epic Almond smoothie makes a protein-powered breakfast option. And the Healthy Blueberry smoothie is a deliciously sweet treat without added sugar or other weird ingredients.
Ingredients in a Healthy Smoothie Recipe
If you want to boost any smoothie into a super healthy drink, here are a few tips to do so:
- If the smoothie recipe doesn’t list leafy greens as an ingredient, feel free to toss in a handful anyway!
- Sometimes I want my smoothie boosted with a specific superfood to combat illness, energize me or boost a nutrient so I turn to Top Superfoods List.
- To turn any smoothie into a meal, add one serving of my homemade protein powder. This helps you feel full longer and uses the protein and healthy fat in that protein powder to give you longer-lasting energy without a sugar crash.

Healthy Smoothie Recipes FAQs
If you use only whole food, plant-based ingredients in your smoothies then you’re off to a good start. I like to add leafy greens to any smoothie I make to boost the nutrients and fiber. You can also toss in superfoods like hemp hearts or chia seeds for both healthy fat and protein.
They can be! Losing weight is so much more than just eating the ‘right’ things, yet I find when I focus on filling my meals with plants and drinking at least one green smoothie a day, I am able to better manage my weight as well as have energy for exercise and adventure.
I avoid adding dairy to smoothies as I find they do not help with my digestion and dairy easily inflames my joints. I choose water or unsweetened plant milk liquid bases over fruit juice to cut down on the natural sugar that can lead to a sugar spike and then crash.
I need to try the iron-rich smoothie bowl AND the banana chocolate smoothie.
I’m anemic and need to add more iron to my diet and this smoothie bowl is right up my alley.
I’ve just started using protein and was looking for a delicious recipe to incorporate it. And just like that my problem has been resolved.
Thank you.
I cannot wait for you to try this smoothie! I am anemic as well and this smoothie is one of my favorites!!!
I am excited to try #7 Banana Chocolate Smoothie because I’m curious about the mushroom protein powder.
Let us know what you think especially of the mushroom protein powder!!
I am most excited to try the tropical turmeric! Sounds delicious and pineapple and mango are my favorite fruits!
I have a chronic illness that makes inflammation a common thing in my life. I’m looking forward to trying the anti-inflammatory smoothie (and maybe the turmeric one too!) to give my body an extra boost at keeping my illness at bay.
Another thought – do you have to worry about the avocado in smoothies browning if you make it the day before?
Cannot wait for you to try this smoothie! Your smoothie might brown a little from the avocado but if you put a couple drops of lemon juice in it, it will help preserve the color.
Hope that helps!
I am most excited to try the tropical turmeric! Sounds delicious and very beneficial for my body!
