Smoothies

I love smoothies made at home because they can make a great breakfast or snack anytime of the day and can usually be made ahead of time. The two delicious healthy smoothie recipes I share today can help you refuel after a great workout as well.

You can also load them up with nutrient-dense foods and supplements to help boost your immunity (e.g. turmeric, probiotics, green powders, collagen, glutamine, etc.) or to give you an energizing power-punch to your metabolism. They require minimal equipment (just a blender) and, by storing them in a reusable drink bottle, you can have an on-the-go meal in minutes.

Ready to make one of these delicious concoctions? Here are my favorites. I know you’ll love these recipes.
