Our Favorite Smoothie Ingredients
The flavor options are truly endless when it comes to creating the perfect smoothie. You’ll find everything from a classic strawberry banana smoothie to one that tastes like carrot cake. Here are some popular fruits and mix-ins to add to smoothies to not only add flavor and sweetness, but also boost nutrients like essential vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, fatty acids, and more.
- fruit: Banana, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, pineapple, mango, orange, peach, avocado.
- vegetable: Spinach, kale, cauliflower, butternut squash, carrots, pumpkin.
- protein: Greek yogurt, protein powder (I like Four Sigmatic and Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides), peanut butter (and all nut butters), nuts.
- Nutritional Enhancers: Chia seeds, hemp seeds, oats, fresh ginger, turmeric, flaxseeds or flaxseed meal.
- For blending: I prefer to use dairy-free milk (such as coconut milk or unsweetened almond milk) rather than fruit juice, but you can use any milk you like.
- For toppings: I love adding seeds, fruit, nut butters, or homemade granola to my smoothies or smoothie bowls!
My smoothie recipes typically don’t use ice cubes for blending, but rather frozen fruit, so you’ll notice that the smoothie gets a creamy texture and stays cold without getting soggy.
