Alright, let’s start with our first superfood smoothie:



 The RedThis one’s on the sweeter side, so it’s really 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 like your smoothies creamier and sweeter. Strawberries, of course. And yes, you can blend them with the stems in. 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 liquid of your choice. And lastly: ice. This one’s optional, but add it if you like your smoothies cold. I usually don’t add ice, but I know most people like it. Next, add all the ingredients into your blender cup. Side note: I’m not including exact measurements for the recipesbecause I personally never measure when making smoothies. I just eyeball everythingand learn what I like over time. I want to be here to share the ingredientsbut give you freedom to explore what ratios you like best,since we all have different tastes anyway. Feel free to experiment and adjust these recipes to your liking. Alright, it’s time to blend!Next up: we have the Green smoothie. This one’s packed with nutrientsbut the green taste can take some time to get used toif you’re still a beginner to these types of smoothies. So here are the ingredients that you’ll need. 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 thetaste yet. Next: wheat grass powder. This is optional, but sometimes,if I don’t have fresh greens, I’ll use this 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 upbecause I put bananas first but I actually recommend adding the greens firstso you can smush them down and pack some more in there, but it’s okay.



 Then blend!Following the green smoothie, we have the Purple smoothie. This one also tastes pretty good because it’s so 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 another superfood I’ve recently just started toexplore. And almond milk, or coconut milk could work too!Add all the ingredients into the blender cup. I felt like adding more blueberries. And then blend until you’re happy with the consistency!Alright, next up we have the most adventurous smoothie of the bunch,the yellow smoothie. This one’s adventurous because it includes a spice called turmeric,a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory usually used in Indian curries. It has a more earthy taste that you might not be used to,but surprisingly this was my favorite smoothie of the bunch. Here are the ingredients we’ll be using:A banana, as usual. Frozen mangoes, or fresh - whatever you’ve got. Turmeric, our star spice. Black pepper - just a dash!Yes, it sounds weird, but black pepper is provento dramatically increase the absorption and effects of Turmeric,that’s why you’ll always see them used together in recipes. And almond milk, or any other type of milk will 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 the benefits. Then add all the fruit, and then blend!Look at that color!I love it so much. Alright, this last smoothie is the quickest and 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 two for this one. This Green Superfood powder mix, which is kind of like a multivitamin,antioxidant supplement made from superfood ingredients. And coconut water. Add the bananas into the cup, then add a scoop of the superfood mix. And then the coconut water. Blend, and you’re done!I feel like this you could literally make this in one minute. Maybe two minutes, if you take your time peeling bananas. Anyway, like with all other smoothies, you can add more ingredients if you’d like. In general, take some time to explore what fruits 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, and you don’t even notice they’re there. That’s why I love smoothies so much. Thanks again to Thrive Market for sponsoring this video.
