Smoothies are my favorite way to eat nutrient-richfoods like fruits and greens.
They’re quick, easy, and only require agood blender.
Today I’m sharing 5 easy superfood smoothiesthat make for a great breakfast,
especially when you’re in a pinch.
First, I’d like to thank Thrive Market forpartnering with me on this video.

Alright, let’s start with our first superfoodsmoothie: The Red
This one’s on the sweeter side, so it’sreally easy to enjoy.
I’d say this is a beginner smoothie.
Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
A banana - You can add another if you likeyour smoothies creamier and sweeter.
Strawberries, of course.
And yes, you can blend them with the stemsin.
I was so stoked when I found that out on Google.
Goji berries, which are an amazing superfood.
Go easy on this if you’re new to the taste,though.
Almond milk - Or, technically, any other liquidof your choice.
And lastly: ice.
This one’s optional, but add it if you likeyour smoothies cold.
I usually don’t add ice, but I know mostpeople like it.
Next, add all the ingredients into your blendercup.
Side note: I’m not including exact measurementsfor the recipes
because I personally never measure when makingsmoothies.
I just eyeball everything
and learn what I like over time.
I want to be here to share the ingredients
but give you freedom to explore what ratiosyou like best,
since we all have different tastes anyway.
Feel free to experiment and adjust these recipesto your liking.
Alright, it’s time to blend!
Next up: we have the Green smoothie.
This one’s packed with nutrients
but the green taste can take some time toget used to
if you’re still a beginner to these typesof smoothies.
So here are the ingredients that you’llneed.
First: Greens of your choice - I have spinach,kale, and chard.
You can add more greens for more nutrients,or less greens if you’re not used to the
taste yet.
Next: wheat grass powder.
This is optional, but sometimes,
if I don’t have fresh greens, I’ll usethis instead.
A banana, or maybe two if you want.
Some chia seed and flaxseed.
And, optional: Another fruit of your choice.
I had papaya in the fridge, so why not?
And lastly: coconut water.
It’s like water, but better.
Add everything into the blender.
Here, I kind of messed up
because I put bananas first but I actuallyrecommend adding the greens first
so you can smush them down and pack some morein there, but it’s okay.
Then blend!
Following the green smoothie, we have thePurple smoothie.
This one also tastes pretty good because it’sso simple.
It reminds me of blueberry yogurt.
Here are the ingredients for this smoothie..
We have: A banana.
We have our main star of the show: blueberries,which are my favorite berries at the moment.
Chia seed and hemp seed, which is anothersuperfood I’ve recently just started to
explore.
And almond milk, or coconut milk could worktoo!
Add all the ingredients into the blender cup.
I felt like adding more blueberries.
And then blend until you’re happy with theconsistency!
Alright, next up we have the most adventuroussmoothie of the bunch,
the yellow smoothie.
This one’s adventurous because it includesa spice called turmeric,
a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatoryusually used in Indian curries.
It has a more earthy taste that you mightnot be used to,
but surprisingly this was my favorite smoothieof the bunch.
Here are the ingredients we’ll be using:
A banana, as usual.
Frozen mangoes, or fresh - whatever you’vegot.
Turmeric, our star spice.
Black pepper - just a dash!
Yes, it sounds weird, but black pepper isproven
to dramatically increase the absorption andeffects of Turmeric,
that’s why you’ll always see them usedtogether in recipes.
And almond milk, or any other type of milkwill work.
First, add the almond milk into your cup.
Then add a teaspoon or less of turmeric.
Then add a dash of black pepper.
A small amount is already enough to reap thebenefits.
Then add all the fruit, and then blend!
Look at that color!
I love it so much.
Alright, this last smoothie is the quickestand easiest of them all.
I call this the “Lazy Superfood Shake”because it can’t get easier than this, seriously.
Here are the three ingredients needed:
First, bananas, and I’d definitely add twofor this one.
This Green Superfood powder mix, which iskind of like a multivitamin,
antioxidant supplement made from superfoodingredients.
And coconut water.
Add the bananas into the cup, then add a scoopof the superfood mix.
And then the coconut water.
Blend, and you’re done!
I feel like this you could literally makethis in one minute.
Maybe two minutes, if you take your time peelingbananas.
Anyway, like with all other smoothies, youcan add more ingredients if you’d like.
In general, take some time to explore whatfruits and greens you like best.
And remember to add superfood boosts -
Like goji berries, chia seeds, hemp seeds,or flaxseed, because why not?
You’re getting so many more nutrients, andyou don’t even notice they’re there.
That’s why I love smoothies so much.
