How to Blend the Perfect Smoothie
I like to follow what we call the 60/40 method for blending: 60% fruits & 40% leafy greens. This balance give me the best of both worlds – a delicious, drinkable smoothie loaded with nutrients. Who wouldn’t want that perfect combo on a daily basis?!
One serving of the perfect green smoothie is:
Every ingredient in Simple Green Smoothie is intentional yet all result in delicious, drinkable creations that make adding into our daily routine a breeze. The fruit + leafy green combinations are endless and that’s why it’s so easy to add in this healthy habit, no matter where you live.
If you choose a non-green smoothie, that’s okay too! I use smoothies like the Chocolate Peanut Butter one above for natural energy before or after a workout. The Epic Almond smoothie makes a protein-powered breakfast option. And the Healthy Blueberry smoothie is a deliciously sweet treat without added sugar or other weird ingredients.
How to Boost Your Smoothie
If you want to boost any smoothie, here a few tips to do so:
- If the smoothie recipe doesn’t list leafy greens as an ingredient, feel free to toss in a handful anyway!
- Sometimes I want my smoothie boosted with a specific superfood to combat illness, energize me or boost a nutrient so I turn to superfood ingredients.
- To turn any smoothie into a meal, add in 1 serving of plant based protein powder. This helps you feel full longer + utilizes the protein and healthy fat in that protein powder to give you longer lasting energy without a sugar crash.

Healthy Smoothie Recipes FAQs
If you use only whole food, plant based ingredients in your smoothies then you’re off to a good start. I like to add leafy greens to any smoothie I make to boost the nutrients + fiber. You can also toss in superfoods like hemp hearts or chia seeds for both healthy fat AND protein.
They can be! Losing weight is so much more than just eating the ‘right’ things, yet I find when I focus on filling my meals with plants and drinking at least 1 green smoothie a day, I am able to better manage my weight as well as have energy for exercise and adventure.
I avoid adding dairy to smoothies as I find they do not help with my digestion and dairy easily inflames my joints. I choose water or unsweetened plant milk liquid bases over fruit juice to cut down on the natural sugar that can lead to a sugar spike then crash.
