Smoothies are just such a fun way to make your daily breakfast both delicious and nutritious. What’s more, is the sheer convenience that you can enjoy once you buy a blender for smoothies. Trust me when I tell you that your life won’t be the same ever again.

In this article, I’m going to list the tastiest smoothie recipes that you have to try. Kids, teenagers, or adults — they will all love it!

Smoothie Recipes You Need to Try

Getting straight to the point, here are a few delicious smoothie recipes for you.

Banana Ginger Smoothie

Take one whole banana, 3/4 cup of vanilla yogurt, and a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup for sweetness. Add all these ingredients to your blender and then put a few chunks of clean and peeled ginger. You can also finely grate the ginger if you want.

This smoothie is perfect to curb your tummy issues such as nausea, digestion, and heartburn.

The Green Smoothie

Take one full cup of greens like destemmed kale, collards, baby spinach, et cetera. You can take one cup of milk of your choice and add a banana or strawberry to it. Some maple syrup or honey will make it taste sweeter.

I have to warn you beforehand that it’ll look really unappetizing. But, trust me when I tell you that it tastes delicious and is very good for your body.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie

This smoothie is more of an indulgence containing a banana, one tablespoon peanut butter, one cup milk, and one to three teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder. Add honey as per your taste. Your kids will fall in love with you again.

Very Berry Smoothie

In your blender, mix up one cup of frozen, unsweetened raspberries, 1/4 cup frozen pitted cherries, 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk, two teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger, one teaspoon ground flaxseed, and two teaspoons of fresh lemon juice. If you want you can add honey. This smoothie can be great for your skin due to its antioxidant-rich profile.

World's Best Smoothie

Yes, this is what this smoothie is called and it's actually aptly named because in addition to a delicious taste you get a healthy dose of antioxidants, fiber, and protein. Here, you will need a banana, one cup of non-fat, plain yogurt, six frozen strawberries, and 1/2 cup orange juice. If not a fan of orange juice, you can always replace it with almond or soy milk.

Smoothie Making Tips to Ensure a Delicious flavor Every Time

Now that we discussed recipes, here are a few tips that will enable you to become a smoothie pro. So, let’s get started!

1. You have to invest in a good blender. There’s just no escaping it! It’s important that you buy a good quality blender if you’re going to use one regularly. Not only will it be worth every penny that you spend, but you can also actually drink your smoothie instead of chewing it. The best blenders last longer and most of the time are covered by warranties in case you face any issue with your appliance.
2. Do not underestimate the power of a banana. By adding bananas, you can get the most creamy, nutritious, and sweet smoothie that is just out and out delicious. For this purpose, use ripe bananas. You can also stock them in your freezer for easy use. Peel the bananas and cut them into average-sized chunks. Freeze these chunky pieces and when solid, transfer them to a ziplock bag made for refrigeration.
3. Play around with milk choices but always opt for the unsweetened variety. Whether you like animal milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk – all your smoothies will turn out great if you stick to the unflavoured and unsweetened versions. This way, you will have an idea of how your smoothie will turn out and if you want to make it sweeter or even less, you can do that easily.
4. Don’t be afraid to be creative! Most of the time a little bit of experiment will give you better-tasting concoctions. For extra nutrition, you can add hemp seeds oil, chia seeds, flax seeds, or anything that you have been wanting to try out. Even protein powder can be a wonderful addition.
5. In case you are vegan, you can replace milk with plant-based Greek yogurt or milk. There is some great quality coconut milk available in the market as well. For sweetness, you can add maple syrup.
