Top 10 Superfoods for Smoothies

Superfood is a buzzword that you’ve most likely heard, but may not fully understand. It’s flashy, trendy and makes me feel healthier just buying them if I’m being honest. Yet are these foods really that super?

Yes! These 10 superfoods for smoothies are definitely worth the hype. This superfoods list gives you ten smoothie-boosting ideas, along with recipes to help you use them.

Smoothies are wonderful with just greens, fruit and water. If I need more energy, a quick full meal, an immune boost or better skin/nails/hair, I add superfoods to help me out.

Protein-Packed Seeds

Seeds top my superfoods list for many reasons. These small but mighty warriors contain healthy fats, quality protein and fiber. Find superfood seeds at almost any American grocery store (Trader Joe’s, Target, even Marshalls!) as well as multiple places online. I pick up all three ingredients at my local Costco in bulk.

This brain food smoothie has everything you need to get you going in the morningโ€” protein, healthy fats, and replenishing electrolytes. Adding avocado to smoothies gives you a lovely dose of omega-3 essential fatty acids, which are vital for brain development and nerve function. Not only that, but the avocado also assists the body in absorbing nutrients from the greens.

Superfoods Green Powder: Green Tea

I am def #teamcoffee all day every day, yet I also appreciate a good cup of green tea. It makes an excellent liquid base for smoothies. Naturally caffeinated green tea gives an energy boost without the coffee jitters.

  • Green tea boosts the metabolism to help burn fat, contains polyphenols and antioxidants to fight cancer and inflammation as well as cell damage and helps the brain function more efficiently.
  • Matcha is an earthy-tasting green tea powder that can lower your chances of chronic illness and boost your antioxidant levels.

Green tea is fairly mild in flavor, so feel free to use it as a base on any smoothie you next create. Or bonus recipe, swap out your next coffee for a matcha tea latte.

Fermented Superfoods for Gut Health

glass jar of sauerkraut surrounded by glass containers of kombucha and yogurt, all fermented superfoods.

I have a deep and lasting love for fermented food. I love pickling things, making and eating sauerkraut and brewing my own kombucha. Gut health is super important and is linked to mood and mental health, your immune system, skin and more. If your gut’s not healthy, ain’t nobody healthy.

  • Kombucha is a tea-based beverage. When tea is fermented the polyphenols are multiplied which helps them fight even more inflammation. My favorite brand is Health-Ade!
  • Yogurt that contains live bacteria, or probiotics, can give your immune system a boost. You can even make vegan yogurt with probiotics in it if dairy is something you try to avoid.
  • Sauerkraut is basically fermented cabbage. It’s great for digestion and the reason it makes this superfood list is the probiotics found inside.

Fueling your body and gut with pre and probiotic foods can help keep your digestive system balanced. I actually have a whole challenge inside Rawk the Year (my meal planner) that teaches you how to make and use these three foods for the happiest gut around.

Superfood FAQs

What is the #1 superfood?

Honestly, different superfoods have different super powers. Don’t just try one! My list includes seeds, green tea, fermented food, power berries, algae, cacao, anti-inflammatory roots, fresh herbs, adaptogens and immune boosting foods.

What is a good superfood shake?

You can add many superfoods to almost any smoothie, no need for a special shake! Yet start with these recipes: honey turmeric smoothie, yogurt smoothie, probiotic smoothie, sauerkraut juice smoothie, cilantro smoothie, chocolate protein shake, orange superfood smoothie.

How do I add superfoods to a smoothie?

A little goes a long way… I recommend adding 1 tablespoon of chia, flax, or hemp to 1 serving of smoothie. Most other superfood ingredients will recommend a serving size, so read the label! And you can always start out small then work your way up to a full serving.

Non-Smoothie Uses for Superfood

Superfoods make excellent smoothie ingredients plus, easily add them to a variety of dishes! Here are a few non-smoothie recipes using the ingredients listed above:

    1. Hi Mary,

      Thanks for reaching out! We’re green smoothie lovin’ rawkstars all right, but we’re not doctors or nutritionists. Especially because every pregnancy is different, we suggest your daughter double check with her doctor before adding new ingredients or recipes to her diet.

      Do check out our post on pregnancy + green smoothies below…

      https://simplegreensmoothies.com/smoothie-pregnancy

      Cheers to health + happiness!

    1. Hi Heather,

      YES! The secret to adding coconut oil to your green smoothie without chunks is to melt your coconut oil (not hot), just melted. Then once you’ve blended your entire smoothie, set your blender to its lowest setting and slowly pour in the melted coconut oil. This will ensure the oil fully incorporates into your smoothie.

      Cheers!

  1. I really like your website. One item you mention is using flaxseeds in your smoothie whole and if you look up information on them, they need to be grounded to get the benefit unlike chia seeds which can be eaten whole. You may know this but it’s not how it comes across in your article. I believe a lot oof people don’t realize this and they are put in foods anyways. They act as an insoluble fiber then and don’t have all the other health benefits as ground do.
    Thanks

    1. Hi Terry,

      Thanks for reaching out! You’re right, ground flaxseed will provide your body with more nutrients, as whole flaxseed may pass through your intestine undigested, which means you won’t get all the benefits.

      Cheers.

  2. Can you ladies add these superfoods to your recipies for the remaining smoothie challenge this month? It’s hard for beginners to know which ones taste well together, how much, and honestly I’ll just forget if they’re not on the list.

    1. Hi Rachel!

      Thanks so much for reaching out. One of our goals for the 30-Day Challenge is to show people that making green smoothies can be super easy and affordable. Consequently, we don’t include super foods in our 30-Day Challenge recipes at this time :). This blog post may help in terms of how much of each superfood to add to your smoothie:

      https://simplegreensmoothies.com/meal-replacement-smoothie

      For ones that aren’t listed (like flax seed or acai), I typically go with the 4 tablespoon rule for a 2-serving smoothie. Hope that helps :). Cheers!

    1. Hello Terry,

      Want to buy superfood powder at cheap price? Then visit the site Here you get all the superfoods at wholesale prices as well as they also offer private label service and white label service for your company.

  3. Nice article…But i have one question. Can we eat spirulina, quinoa, wheatgrass?

    1. Hi Chris,

      Of course! All three are rawkin’ superfoods to fuel your body!

  4. Just a quick question. Do the green superfood powders that contain these ingredients as good as seeking them out individually?

    1. Hi Lenah,

      Great question! We prefer to fuel our bodies with whole ingredients with as little processing as possible, but superfood powders can be a great option when looking to boost your green smoothie with major vitamins + health benefits. Just keep an eye on the ingredients to ensure the superfood powder you’re reaching for is free of added sugar, gross artificial flavors, or minimal nutrients.

  5. This is a great, informative article. I am just returning to making smoothies as I forgot how great I feel after them.
    I am wondering if, while using these three staple seeds, I could skip using protein powders? Please advise.
    Thanks for the great information.
    Karolina

    1. Hi Karolka,

      Thanks for reaching out! We’re so excited to hear you found our post on superfoods helpful. Looking to decide how much protein to add to your green smoothie? When adding chia seeds you’ll be fueling your body with a great protein boost, we suggest adding 4 tbs to any recipe, which is two servings. Curious if you should still add protein powder when using chia seeds? It’s all about knowing your body. If you’re super active, your body may need an additional boost, otherwise you should be good to go! Make sure and listen to what your body is saying.

      When adding flaxseeds, you’ll be fueling your body with healthy fats, so adding protein powder is a great option.

      Hope this helps!

  6. Hello,

    I am trying to jump-start myself back in a green smoothie routine. I noticed in an earlier comment you said it is not good to mix all the powders together to keep them separate.

    I was wondering if it is acceptable/healthy to buy a smoothie powder that has all of the super-food ingredients (spirulina, chia seed, etc.) in one that I can just add to my smoothies and get all of the nutrients I need?

    And, if so, what is a good organic/all-natural powder that I can buy?

    Thank you!!
    Jackie

    1. Hi Jackie,

      Great question! When fueling your body, variety is always a great idea! It ensures you’re body is receiving a wide range of nutrients.

      There are some great products out there that combine several superfoods for a super simple way to add a major nutrient boost to your green smoothies. If you’re interested in trying a superfood powder, check out MNOS, it was suggested to us by Simple Green Smoothies’ grandmother, who first introduced Jadah to green smoothies…

    1. Hi Nadine,

      Of course! Coconut oil is a rawkin’ source of healthy fats + the perfect addition to your daily green smoothie!

  8. What about old fashioned oats in smoothies, do they have to be cooked first? Can they be added to all smoothies for more fulling smoothies.

    1. Hi Nadine,

      You can definitely add oats to your green smoothie! They’re a great source of protein + help keep your blood sugar stable! They’re also great because you can blend them dry, soaked, or cooked! Cooking your oats prior to blending will create the creamiest green smoothie, while dry is the most convenient but you’ll find the most grit. It’s all about finding what works for you!

      Cheers!

  9. Great article. I’ve been doing your April 30 day challenge. I am happy to say my cabinets are stocked with 6 of the 10 already. I will be making sure I have all 10 by this weekend. I love your smoothies, I am using the super foods in my smoothies everyday because I am doing meal replacements for breakfast and lunch and have so much more energy and alertness. I don’t wake up tired anymore. Today, I just purchased the 7 day thrive program as I am very interested in the tumeric tonic and of course more awesome smoothie recipes.

      YAY! We’re so excited to hear you’re rawkin’ the April 30-Day Green Smoothie Challenge and hope you love Thrive as much as we do!! Thanks for blendin’ with us + for sharing the green smoothie love with others!

  10. It should be noted to flax seeds should NOT be taken while pregnant, though chia seeds are perfectly safe. Flax has been shown to induce labor.

    1. Hi Rebecca,

      Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out + share your concern. As everyone’s body + pregnancy is different, we definitely suggest reaching out to your obgyn prior to adding any new ingredients to your diet!

  11. I have found the information you provide to be very helpful and it is my hope that you can provide a little more information regarding these Super Foods. Although Super Foods seem to be mentioned everywhere these days, I am unable to locate any definitive explanation as to how much of a particular Super Food I should consume in a given amount of time, or whether it should be consumed with other foods or not, and a serving size, as is located on the package, doesnโ€™t provide any clues. Should Super Foods be rotated like leafy greens to avoid a toxicity issue or are they safe to eat every day? And, if they should be rotated are there family groups that these Super Foods belong in? How do we navigate through these Super Foods to use them properly and get the most benefit from them?

      1. Hi Thomas and Melissa,

        That’s a great question! With any great food it’s always a good idea to rotate so your body is continually getting a variety of nutrients and vitamins. You may be interested in checking out this article from the mayo clinic that talks about other super foods and how to add them to your body…

  12. Hey,

    Could you please tell me, to get the best benefits do you have to soak chia seeds before use or can you blend them into things as they come?

    Thanks

    1. Hi Vicky,

      Great question! It’s all about finding what works for you! Chia seeds are great in that you can add them to your green smoothie in several different ways and still receive their maximum health benefits. Some great options are soaking your chia seeds, blending in, mixing in, or my personal favorite…sprinkling on top for a little added crunch!

      Cheers ๐Ÿ™‚
