World's Best Healthy Smoothies Recipes to Make at Home (7 Ways)!

Happy New Year Busy Bees! What is everyone's number one New Year's resolution? To eat healthier, of course! During my last doctor's appointment for the baby, the doctor actually told me to stop gaining too much weight, so eating healthy is number one on my list. Like I said, I overindulged a little bit too much during the holidays, but not to worry! I have seven life-changing smoothies that'll help get our nutrients in and using all the colors of the rainbow. I'm starting with pink, which is the Aloha Power Punch. First, I'm grabbing half a cup of frozen strawberries, throw them in a blender, half a cup of frozen pineapples, same thing with half a banana, two tablespoons of rinsed quinoa for some extra protein, one tablespoon of shredded coconut flakes, one cup of coconut milk, a quarter cup of Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of maple syrup to sweeten things up, and some ice. Now I'm going to give everything a whirl. Look at that baby come together. Mm-mm. Perfect. I'll pour it in my glass. Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm. It's the perfect baby pink color. So pretty! Stick a straw in it. Oop, too far. Enjoy. Ah, so good. The pineapple and coconut gives it that tropical flavor, and the Greek yogurt and quinoa gives it that extra boost of protein to help us build muscles. All right, now I'm going to move on to my next color, which is yellow for the Vitamin C Monster. All right, we have half a cup of frozen mangoes, throw that into the blender, half a banana, half a cup of frozen peaches, quarter cup or a scoop of Greek yogurt, a tablespoon of chia seeds to get things moving. I love adding chia seeds to smoothies because it has a ton of vitamins and nutrients like protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids to really amp up the smoothies. A tablespoon of honey, half a cup of orange juice, then to make it creamy, half a cup of soy milk, some ice, throw that in the blender, and let's give it a whirl. Look at that beautiful yellow shade come together. I love all the speckles from the chia seeds too. That was so good. When the chia seeds mix with liquid, it gelatinizes and it helps to thicken up our smoothie. This one also tastes like a tropical creamsicle, and it's one of my favorites. Okay, now moving on to the next color, which is orange, we have the anti-inflammatory smoothie. I have one carrot that I'll just chop up, dump into the blender, one cup of cut papayas, fresh. Papayas are one of the healthiest fruits in the world. It has vitamin B, vitamin C, and folate, which is great for pregnancy. Half a cup of frozen mangoes, half a banana, we're going for another tropical theme here, a small piece of ginger that I've cut and peeled, a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds because it has tons of vitamin C, a quarter cup or a scoop of Greek yogurt, again for protein, half a teaspoon of turmeric for its anti-inflammation properties, three quarters of a cup of orange juice, and some ice. Now blend, baby, blend. We get a vibrant orange color from the carrots, papaya, and turmeric here. Gorgeous. I love the hint of sweetness from the papaya and the carrot, and the turmeric is not overpowering at all. You guys should definitely give this one a try. Okay, now our next one is green for the super energy charger. I'm using some dino kale that I've chopped up, add to the blender, half a banana, half of a green apple, half of an avocado to add some natural creaminess, half a cup of frozen pineapples, some parsley to clean out your system. If your breath is a little unsavory, the parsley will clean that right up. A tablespoon of walnuts for some healthy fat, one and a quarter cups of coconut water, a squeeze of lemon to really freshen everything up, and some ice. Now let's let it whirl. This is super green, the ultimate green smoothie. I always feel good drinking something green, and the healthy fats in this from the avocado and the walnuts will really keep my energy levels up throughout the day. Okay, now I'm moving on to my next color, which is blue for the antioxidant power boost. Here I have one cup of frozen blueberries, dump it in the blender, half a cup of frozen strawberries, half a banana, a quarter cup of Greek yogurt, our favorite, some chia seeds for some extra antioxidant boost, half a cup of pomegranate juice, half a cup of cooled green tea, because that's also full of antioxidants, and some ice. Blend, blend, blend. Mix, mix, mix. The blueberries and the palm juice here really give it that deep blue, almost purple-like color. It's so gorgeous. I love it. Mmm. I really love the combo of green tea and pomegranate, and I really get that hint of sweetness in there from all the fruits. So blueberries, green tea, and pomegranate have a ton of antioxidants, so I feel good drinking this. Okay, moving on to our next color, which is purple for brain power. I'll start with one frozen pack of acai. I'm using unsweetened, but you can use sweetened. Half a cup of frozen blackberries, half a banana, half a cup of frozen strawberries, a must-have in almost all smoothies, one tablespoon of dried goji berries. The goji berries here help to reduce any damaging inflammation and removes toxins from the brain, which is why we call it the brain power smoothie. One tablespoon of almonds, also for some healthy fat, one tablespoon of chia seeds, one cup of coconut milk, and some ice. I think of this smoothie kind of like an acai bowl with my favorite toppings blended up. Now that's purple. Of Purple Mountain's majesty, it's a majestic purple here. Beautiful. Let's give it a try. The acai has a really distinct flavor, and it tastes great in this smoothie. This smoothie is kind of like an acai bowl on the run. Okay, moving on to our last smoothie. For brown, we're going to have the awake smoothie. Even though this smoothie uses coffee, it's not your typical frappuccino type smoothie. It's like a breakfast all in one. I have four squares of dark chocolate that I'll just drop into the blender, one whole banana, a quarter cup of rolled oats, half a cup of greek yogurt, a tablespoon of peanut butter, scoop it out, one tablespoon of maple syrup, half a cup of strongly brewed and cooled coffee, and a giant scoop of ice for this one. I'll blend it all together. It's almost like a frappuccino, but so much healthier for you. Ooh, I'm also loving the chocolate specks in there that reminds me of a mocha. Mmm. This smoothie reminds me of a protein shake, but so much fresher, tastes better, and is way more complete. What steps are you guys taking to eat healthier in this new year?
