Let’s be real – most days we’ve got so many things on our plate, that the last thing we think about is actually eating something healthy off a plate (sigh). Having balanced and nutritious meals often require a lot of effort so I decided to simplify things. In order to take better care of myself, I’m going to make myself one smoothie a day, whether for breakfast or lunch or in between meals.
To keep it interesting, I wanted to come up with different smoothie recipes for every day of the week (ok and I was also cheesy and decided to name the smoothies with the same letter as the day of the week so that I would remember which smoothie I am supposed to have that day). But cheesy or not, this is one way to ensure I get a variety of fruit, veggie, nut and dairy intake during the week and don’t get bored of the same thing. So check out my seven smoothie recipes below starting and let me know which one is your fave!
This smoothie tastes as good as it looks. The melon and pear go really well together and are balanced out with the creamy yogurt and tart lime juice. Take a sip, I know you’ll be hooked.
It’s Tuesday and that means another smoothie is in the works. Today’s fix is the tropical smoothie. Loaded with tropical fruits and such, it tastes like Hawaii in a glass. I include macadamia nuts in this recipe because they are a great source of fiber and blend really well with these fruit flavors. This smoothie has a good serving of fruits and veggies. And, if you wanna live a little, add a splash of rum at the end – hey, at least it’ll be a nutritious cocktail hehe.
Happy #humpday! Today I made a yummy watermelon smoothie which was light and refreshing and perfect for the 85+ degree weather we have been getting in LA. This watermelon smoothie is a real thirst quencher and requires only 3 ingredients. And, if you’re really trying to cool down you can always put it in the freezer for an hour to make it more cool and refreshing.
This fig smoothie is a creamy, sweet one – a perfect treat instead of dessert.
I love my Saturday spinach smoothie recipe because it’s packed with iron and it’s the only green smoothie I truly drink with pleasure. The banana balances out the leafy taste of the spinach and kale and the nuts make it nice and creamy.
My smoothie recipe series is coming to an end but I hope you’ll continue having these throughout the week. It’s really been making me feel so much better and healthier. This strawberry smoothie recipe is a hit among my friends and family and although it tastes great, it has hidden healthy ingredients you can’t taste. Hope you like it! And, remember all of these smoothie recipes roughly yield two 10 ounce smoothie servings.
