Smoothies. One of the easiest, quickest ways to pack a nutritious punch.

We’ve got a number of go-to smoothie recipes on repeat in our home, and today, I’ve set out to share them with you.

Whether you’re looking for green smoothies, strawberry smoothies, banana smoothies, tropical, smoothies with avocado or even a more indulgent chocolate smoothie – I’ve got a smoothie recipe for you!

Green Smoothie Recipes

If there’s anything that I can think of that screams health, it’s a green smoothie.

Here are a few of my favourite unique riffs on the classic green smoothie.

Ginger Orange Matcha Green Tea Smoothie

This deliciously off-beat green smoothie pairs satsuma or Cara Cara oranges with fresh ginger for a crisp, bright and healthy breakfast. Oh, and a gentle caffeine kick, thanks to the matcha green tea powder.

Detox Green Apple Smoothie

Chocolate Mint Green Smoothie

Equal parts indulgent dessert and nutritious powerhouse, this super easy yet so-good Chocolate Mint Protein Smoothie is one you’ve got to try.

Strawberry Smoothie Recipes

Strawberries are such a wonderful addition to any smoothie.

They’re lower in sugar than many of it’s other fruit counterparts, and add a really lovely yet still mild flavour.

There’s so many different ways to build a strawberry smoothie, but here are a few of my favs.

Classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie

It doesn’t get much more simple than this nutritious, 4-ingredient Classic Strawberry Banana Smoothie from Downshiftology.

Strawberry Grapefruit Smoothie

If this fresh and light smoothie isn’t the crisp flavours of summer in a glass, I don’t know what is.

Strawberry Beet Smoothie Bowl

Oh, beets. You really work wonders in smoothies.

There’s just something about the wonderfully earthy flavour of beets.

Especially when they’re used in lieu of it’s more common, and sweeter berry, banana, mango counterparts (although if you love sweet mango, you must try this Mango Kulfi recipe).

Banana Smoothie Recipes

If you don’t have a freezer full of uber-ripe peeled and sliced bananas ready to be tossed into whichever smoothie, bread or muffin you feel the need for, who even are you?

Bananas; the perfectly versatile, always available, go-to smoothie ingredient. You can dress them down and dress them up so many ways.

Here’s a few I’d recommend.

Carrot Ginger Citrus Smoothie

This is another one of those snuck-the-veggies-in smoothies.

Immune-boosting carrots dance with other wonderfully orange ingredients for a flavour-packed smoothie you’ll be adding to your recipe collection, STAT.

Carrot Ginger Citrus Smoothie by Vanilla and Bean.

Banana, Coffee, Cashew and Cocoa Smoothie

If there’s one thing life wouldn’t be the same without, it’s coffee.

Cold-brew is taken to another flavour-level when blended with cardamom in this creamy, blended coffee smoothie from Bon Appetit.

Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie

Looking for a dessert-y smoothie that you almost won’t believe is good-for-you?

Gimme Some Oven’s classic Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie will definitely do the trick.

Pumpkin Pie Smoothie

To all my pumpkin pie fans out there, I know the question you’ve been pondering. Because I’ve been wondering the same thing.

Is there a way to make pumpkin pie into an easy, nutritious, and filling breakfast?

Why yes, yes indeed, there is.

This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie combines banana and dates for a touch of sweetness, a sprinkle of home-y, warming cinnamon, and one last secret ingredient that makes this smoothie pumpkin-y.

And it’s not pumpkin.

Any guesses?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie

I mean, who doesn’t love PB & J?

This simple, yet delicious and super satisfying smoothie creation is compliments of Jess over at Choosing Chia.

Minty Green Avocado Smoothie

Tropical Smoothie Recipes

If you like piña coladas… 

Tropical Green Smoothie

If it isn’t made with coconut milk, is a tropical smoothie really even tropical?

This delish Tropical Green Smoothie from Nyssa’s Kitchen is kinda like a pina colada, only 100 times healthier. Oh, and there’s ginger. I truly love the fresh kick of ginger in all types of recipes, but when it’s used to balance the creaminess of banana and coconut milk, it’s even better.

Papaya Mojito Smoothie

Papaya, lime, mint and pineapple. Need I say more?

If you’ve ever walked by beautifully ripe papayas in your grocery store, wondering what you could do with them, I present to you – the Papaya Mojito Smoothie by Choosing Chia.

Mango Pineapple Glow Smoothie

Hypothetically, if all the fruit in the blender was yellow and orange, you could, of course – hypothetically, add in a handful of vegetables, right?

If you’d hypothetically like to find out how to sneak butternut squash into a deliciously tropical and bright smoothie, check out Health Nut Nutrition’s Mango Pineapple Glow Smoothie.

Turmeric Ginger Immunity Smoothie

You know that feeling when you can sense a cold coming on?

Or… the latter – when your home is filled with a serenade of sneezing, coughing and groaning?

Enter, Super Power Immunity Smoothie.

If there’s anything that will blast that cold or flu to the curb, it’s this wonderfully vibrant health bomb in a cup.

The anti-inflammatory and anti-nauseating properties of turmeric and ginger are complemented by vitamin c-packed oranges and gut-boosting kefir for a potent elixir in this must-bookmark recipe.

Chocolate Smoothies

Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie

Looking for something just a liiiittle different, but still familiar enough that you probably have all of the ingredients already? Meet Natalie, over at Feasting on Fruit’s Chocolate Hazelnut Smoothie.

If your childhood was filled with as many happy memories of Nutella as mine was, this healthy spin on a classic will quickly become your go-to, too.

What’s even better? There’s an option to add… dare I say it? *gasp* …cauliflower to this one. Don’t miss it.

Secretly Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie

It’s no secret that many smoothie recipes depend on sometimes-pricy powdered supplements to up the protein. This incredibly filling and Healthy Chocolate Breakfast Smoothie, doesn’t fit into that category.

I’ve added a simple yet uncommon ingredient to add some protein naturally, as well as rolled oats and dates for some added fiber.
