6 Superfood Smoothies
Each smoothie can be prepped in 2-5 minutes. You can even blend one the night before, store it in a mason jar, and drink it the next morning.
Superfood #1: Kale
Kale is considered the number one superfood. It packs more nutrients than other whole foods such as vitamin A, vitamin K, and calcium. There are many delicious kale smoothies but one that stands out is the chocolate kale smoothie.
Chocolate Kale Smoothie
Blend: 6 kale leaves, 2 cups of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of protein powder, chopped bananas, and chia seeds.
Superfood #2: Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass smoothie is just what you need to recover fast from that post-workout oxidative stress. A half cup of wheatgrass drink does wonders for your recovering muscles. If you can, try growing some at home!
Orange Wheatgrass Smoothie
Blend: ¼ cup of fresh wheatgrass (alternative: ¼ teaspoon wheatgrass powder)
Superfood #3: Blueberries
Why are blueberries “super”? Blueberries are among the best foods that speed up your metabolism. Drink a blueberry smoothie to decrease your fat storage. It makes a great breakfast treat since your metabolism slows down when you’re asleep.
Banana-Blueberry Smoothie
Blend: 1 cup of frozen blueberries, a ripe banana, non-fat plain yogurt
Superfood #4: Pomegranate
This seedy fruit is comparable to green tea in terms of skin hydration. It ’s also an amazing plant source for vitamin C, an antioxidant that protects your skin from UV damage. Pomegranate keeps your blood sugar levels stable so that you don’t get those sudden hunger pangs.
Pomegranate-Banana Smoothie
Blend: 2 cups of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice, 2 large bananas, 2 cups of non-fat plain yogurt
Superfood #5: Avocado
Avocado is creamy and versatile. There are a lot of myths that surround avocado as people think that it’s fattening. While it doesn’t really make you fat, it contains healthy fats that are beneficial to the heart. Loaded with fiber, it can be the perfect superfood to support a healthy weight loss.
Avocado Melon Smoothie
Blend: 1 avocado, 1 cup of honeydew melon chunks, 1 cup of fat-free plain yogurt, 1 tablespoon honey
Superfood #6: Goji Berries
Goji berries were used in Chinese medicine and are known for their anti-aging properties. So if you’re looking for a proven skin beauty booster, you won’t go wrong with Goji berries. They’re also great immune boosters which means that you’ll always feel great inside.
Strawberry and Goji Berry Smoothie
Blend: ¼ goji berries, 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, 1 ½ cup of almond milk, 2 tablespoons of flax seed
