Say hello to the most beautiful smoothie recipes on the internet! Smoothies are such a great healthy breakfast idea and, speaking from experience, dinner idea too! That’s right, it’s my go-to when I don’t have anything to eat.

Smoothies are all about finding that perfect ratio of fruit to liquid. That’s why you’ll see in our basic smoothie recipe, we have about 1 cup of liquid to 2 cups of frozen fruit.

What goes in a smoothie recipe?

One unique thing about our smoothie recipes, is that we do not use ice. Instead, we use a 2:1 ratio of frozen fruit to liquid.

  • 2 cups frozen fruit (banana, strawberries, mixed berry, pineapple, tropical blend, etc.)
  • 1 cup liquid (orange juice, almond milk, coconut water, coconut milk, water)

We say 2:1 with a grain of salt because everyone has their own preference. Some people like to drink smoothies with a straw and others like it thick enough to be eaten with a spoon. So, start with 1 cup of liquid and add more as you wish.

In addition to the 2:1 ratio of fruit to liquid, you can also add other ingredients such as protein powder, greens, Greek yogurt, seeds, etc.

Best Blender for Smoothies

We have a Vitamix and it runs you about $350 on Amazon. I do not have a single bad thing to say about this beast. It’s super powerful, easy to clean, and it makes making smoothies along with other things a breeze. I can tell you right now that this is the best blender I have ever owned and there’s no turning back.

If you’re looking for something a bit smaller and the perfect size for smoothies, we recommend the Beast Blender. We actually just got it a few months ago and it works like a charm and is much cheaper than the Vitamix.

your smoothies look lovely, can’t wait to try them. You mentioned you don’t use ice cubes I agree, what i do is make ice out of my fruit (especially if it is close to the end of goodness and too much for one smoothie). Just chop them up with a little water and pour into ice cube trays. I measured and 3 cubes in my trays equals 1 cup. check it out.

Great collection of recipes. They are easy to follow and give extended information including calories and handy tips.
What helps further in preparation of best smoothies is having a good blender. I want to share with you a link that also helped me a lot in making the right blender choice: https://blendersexpert.com/immersion-vs-countertop-blender-which-one-should-i-buy/ Hope that will help you as well

Thank you for this great selection of healthy smoothie recipes, Lee! All they look so delicious but I especially did like your recipes of Banana Smoothie and Strawberry Smoothie. I cooked strawberry smoothie a few days ago. Unfortunately, I didn’t have fresh strawberry so I used frozen instead. Despite this smoothie turned out very tasty and my kids loved it!

Hi Lee,
Wow!! So many smoothies to try, my head is spinning with new ideas to try. I get bored with drinking the same smoothies, so, thanks so much for the recipes. I often add my home made milks including hemp milk. Your reader may be interested to find out how easily they can make it here: https://thehealthfulkitchen.com/how-to-make-hemp-seed-milk/
