There are smoothie versions that are basically a cup of sugar and a handful of spinach added as a cover, and there are also versions where you can actually eat your lunch. The difference is that the taste is usually persuasive while protein, fat, and fiber play a role in the background. We’ve rounded up 10 of our favorites. Erewhon knockoffs that cost a fraction of the price of the real thing, five-ingredient pumpkin spice that tastes like October in a glass, Jennifer Garner staples that look questionable but aren’t, and everything in between. Each gets its place.
our favorite healthy smoothie recipes
Think of this list as your new morning rotation. It’s something to return to when the 7am crowd is in full swing and you need breakfast to work hard. Whether you’re blending it up for one person on Tuesday or whipping up a pitcher for the whole family on a lazy Sunday, there’s something here for every version of your morning.
Strawberry Probiotic Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)
The $20 Erewhon smoothie that broke the internet is getting a makeover in your home kitchen, and the results are truly worth it. Coconut yogurt provides probiotics, collagen peptides fortify protein, and medjool dates provide sweetness without any refined sugar. Once you blend this together, you won’t think driving to LA is a reasonable plan.
A strawberry matcha smoothie that adds a romantic touch to spring
Two blends, one glass: The matcha layer (ceremonial grade, banana, yogurt) and the strawberry layer (fresh and frozen, including frozen coconut milk) stay separate for as long as willpower lasts. The secret weapon is a pinch of salt in each layer, which adds more flavor than you might expect.
chocolate banana almond butter smoothie
Chocolate, banana, almond butter, and a pinch of cinnamon. This tastes like it shouldn’t be counted as pre-workout fuel, but the combination of Greek yogurt, protein powder, and flaxseed means it absolutely pays off. Drinking it a few hours before your workout will help stabilize your blood sugar levels for a long time after your workout.
Get your energy back with a smoothie
Fig and tahini smoothie sounds like a big deal until you actually make it. Figs bring honey-like sweetness and fiber, tahini adds creaminess and healthy fats, and ginger and cinnamon round out the flavors for a fall-inspired flavor. Flaxseed powder and vanilla protein powder keep blood sugar levels stable, so consuming maple syrup won’t cause your blood sugar levels to plummet in the morning.
matcha power smoothie
This is a vegetable-first version that focuses on matcha. Spinach and cucumber join the banana and matcha base to add hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits without sacrificing any flavor. Add vanilla protein powder and a spoonful of hemp seeds for a meal that will last you until lunch.
almond butter green smoothie
The secret ingredient is frozen cauliflower, which adds creaminess and volume, but no flavor at all. Just protein, fiber, and the satisfaction of getting vegetables for breakfast without the taste. If you mix it in advance and freeze it in an ice cube tray, it will be ready in less than 2 minutes on a busy morning.
Honeydew Slush Made with 5 Ingredients
Honeydew’s reputation as a sad fruit salad stuffing ends here. Mixing frozen melon with mint, honey, lemon, and a spoonful of coconut cream creates a refreshing, floral scent that will have you begging for a blender. The trick is to freeze three-quarters of the melon overnight, which gives it an icy texture without becoming watery.
tropical pineapple ginger smoothie
Pineapple, strawberry, banana, and an inch of ginger are blended with orange juice instead of milk. Thanks to this swap, it tastes more like a smoothie bar in a tropical hotel lobby than a weekday obligation. A quarter avocado adds creaminess and fiber, and is naturally dairy-free, nut-free and vegan, making it an unusual breakfast that the whole table can agree on.
cookies & cream smoothie
It combines Kelly LeVeque’s Fab 4 Method (protein, fat, fiber, and vegetables) into one glass, made famous by Jennifer Garner. He apparently drinks it all the time. Chocolate coconut collagen, frozen blueberries, almond butter, and a handful of spinach don’t seem like they should stick together, but they hold together, resulting in a creamy, rich flavor that’s more like a dessert than a health imperative.
pumpkin spice smoothie
Five ingredients: pumpkin puree, frozen banana, almond milk, nut butter, dates, and pumpkin pie spice come together in less than two minutes and taste exactly like what you’ll actually be eating this October. The puree sneaks plenty of veggies into your breakfast without advertising itself, and the frozen banana handles the creaminess, so you don’t need yogurt or protein powder (though you can easily add both if you want more staying power).
