But it can be hard to find the right flavor combos—and it’s easy to turn a smoothie into a dessert if you’re not careful! That’s why we whipped up this colorful trio of new recipes to shake up your smoothie routine.
Blueberry Banana Smoothie
Could this one get any easier? A little water, a banana, some frozen blueberries, and chia seeds get blended together for a boost of flavor, nutrients, and vibrant color.

Bet you never tried making a carrot smoothie at home! This dairy-free recipe calls for grated carrots, fresh fragrant ginger, sweet pitted dates, frozen pineapple, and peeled oranges. Blend everything with water and ice cubes for a frosty, fruity morning eye-opener.
Kale Pineapple Smoothie
It’s easy going green when you have a green smoothie this tasty! It’s made with banana, pineapple, apple, and leafy kale. Here’s a bonus tip: If you wash and freeze the kale ahead of time, the leaves will break up more easily in your blender, making your smoothie—well—smoother!
