WEEKLY SMOOTHIE RECIPES

Monday: Creamy Avocado Energy

  • Ingredients:

    • 1/2 ripe avocado

    • 1 medium banana (frozen is best for texture)

    • 1/4 cup raw almonds

    • 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, oat, or almond)

    • Optional: 1 tsp honey or maple syrup for sweetness.

  • Instructions: Place almonds in the blender first and pulse until finely crushed. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until completely smooth.

Tuesday: Tropical Glow

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks

    • 1 medium red apple, cored and sliced

    • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped

    • 1/2 cup water or orange juice (to help blending)

  • Instructions: If you don’t have a high-speed blender, grate the carrots first to avoid chunks. Blend all ingredients until vibrant and liquid.

Wednesday: The Refresher

  • Ingredients:

    • 2 stalks celery, chopped

    • 1/2 large cucumber, sliced

    • Juice of 1/2 lemon

    • 1/2 cup cold water

    • Optional: A few mint leaves for extra zest.

  • Instructions: Blend the celery and cucumber with water first. Once smooth, stir in the lemon juice. Sieve through a fine mesh if you prefer a “juice” consistency over a “smoothie” texture.

Thursday: Vitality Red

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 small beetroot (peeled and raw for maximum nutrients, or steamed for a smoother taste)

    • 1 stalk celery, chopped

    • 1 large green apple, cored

    • 1/2 cup water

  • Instructions: Chop the beetroot into very small cubes to help your blender. Blend until deep red and consistent.

Friday: Berry Blast

  • Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries

    • 1/2 cup blueberries

    • 1 banana

    • 1 cup milk of choice

  • Instructions: Add the berries and banana to the blender, pour the milk over them, and blend on high. This one is perfect with a scoop of protein powder if you’re hitting the gym!

Saturday: The Green Machine

  • Ingredients:

    • 1 green apple, cored

    • 1/2 cucumber, sliced

    • 1 large handful of fresh baby spinach

    • 1/2 cup water or coconut water

  • Instructions: Layer the spinach at the bottom near the blades, then add the cucumber and apple. Blend until there are no leafy “bits” left.


Pro-Tips for Success:

  • The Liquid Base: Start with 1/2 cup of liquid. If it’s too thick, add more a tablespoon at a time.

  • Temperature: For the best experience, use at least one frozen fruit element (like the banana or berries) to keep the drink cold and thick without diluting it with ice.

  • Prep: You can “meal prep” these by putting the dry/solid ingredients into freezer bags so you just have to dump them in and add liquid in the morning!
