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 so need this somehow sitting at a desk all and working at a computer for 8 hours have allowed the weight and bad snack habits creep in. My entire being is in need of a overhaul, better food choices and delicious and healthy smoothies. All the way in!!!! Can’t wait to try every recipe with the chocolate one leading the pack.

I am most excited about trying #1! I want to get in the smoothie habit, and this super simple recipe might work to get me addicted.
Banana and chocolate, I mean who could resist that awesome combo!!
I haven’t tried the Anti-inflammatory smoothie and I’d love to try it because I have an autoimmune disorder and would think the ingredients would benefit me!! Thank you!
I love beginners luck and so do my grands so I make it quite often.
But I’m excited to try the Banana Chocolate “milkshake”!
So glad I found Simple Green Smoothies!!
As much as I hate grapefruit. I am going to try the fat burning smoothie. It looks delicious as do they all.
I NEED to try the chocolate banana smoothie!! This is my dream combo of sweet and satisfaction. I think my perfect day would start out with the Beginners Luck smoothie(my go to) and end with the Chocolate Banana and drift off into sweet dreams ❤️
Most excited to try the chocolate banana smoothie. Also want to try the iron rich smoothie bowl but honestly, doesn’t look too appetizing.
I’m most excited to try #3, the anti inflammatory smoothie because I’m dealing with inflammation. However, #7, the banana chocolate smoothie is a close second!
I am most excited to try the Tropical Turmeric because although I have been taking turmeric by capsule, I have yet to work it into a smoothie! I LOVE the benefits and look forward to being BRAVE enough to put it in my DAILY green smoothie! (And I LOVE coconut, pineapple, and mango already!)
Right now I’m working my way back through the Autumn 2019 7-day challenge. Once I’m though this I’d like to try the Iron-rich smoothie bowl to switch it up from smoothies to a bowl. Also, it just sounds so nourishing.
I am looking forward to making the iron rich smoothie bowl. I suffer from anemia and would like some of my energy back. The ingredients are things I’ve never tried before but my body is missing them so! Can’t wait!
#3 anti-inflammatory for sure! picking up ingrediants for this one tonight!
It’s a tie for me! I’m most interested in blending up the fat burning smoothie and the anti-inflammatory smoothie, because I can make both of them without having to make allergy friendly substitutions.
I’m going to try the Fat Burning Smoothie. I love all your recipes.
