Orange-Mango Smoothie
Ali Redmond
The vitamin C from the oranges helps support immune health in this smoothie, making it a great choice during cold and flu season. Plus, it tastes just like a creamsicle. If you don’t have almond milk, any other dairy or nondairy milk will work.

This anti-inflammatory smoothie draws its bright tropical flavor from frozen passion fruit pieces available in the frozen fruit section of well-stocked supermarkets or natural-foods stores. If you can’t find passion fruit at all, substitute with frozen pineapple.

The kale, hemp seeds and green tea in this bright, lemony smoothie all contain antioxidants that can help fight inflammation. If you can’t find baby kale, baby spinach will work well in its place. Banana adds natural sweetness. If you want it a little sweeter, just a touch of honey will do the trick.
Creamy Strawberry Smoothie
It’s hard to beat this quick and easy strawberry smoothie. All you need is five ingredients and five minutes. It’s versatile too: you can use any unsweetened milk for creaminess, your preferred yogurt, and the maple syrup or honey is optional. The vanilla extract acts as a great flavor backdrop that will work with most fruits. Get blending!
Cherry-Berry Smoothie Bowl
EatingWell
This smoothie bowl features three of the best foods to eat to reduce inflammation: tart cherry juice, spinach and avocado. If you don’t have spinach on hand, swap in another dark leafy green. Each serving provides 18 grams of fiber—enough to help keep you full until lunchtime.
Spinach, Peanut Butter & Banana Smoothie
Peanut butter and banana is a classic combo that’s even more delicious with the addition of tangy probiotic-rich kefir. Plus, this peanut butter banana smoothie helps you up your veggie servings for the day with a bit of mild-flavored spinach mixed in.
Strawberry-Blueberry-Banana Smoothie
A smoothie with strawberries, blueberries and banana is delicately sweet and entirely kid-friendly, even with a boost of protein from hemp seeds. Freeze the fruits ahead of time for an extra frosty texture once blended.
Cherry-Pineapple Smoothie

Cherries contain vitamin E, vitamin C and polyphenols, nutrients that may help reduce inflammation in the body. The tart pomegranate-cherry juice pairs well with crushed pineapple and creamy yogurt.
Ultimate Healthy Breakfast Smoothie
This breakfast smoothie is packed with protein, fiber, unsaturated fats and essential vitamins and minerals. Follow our simple formula, memorize the ingredient amounts, then customize to your liking for a smoothie that tastes great and keeps you full until lunchtime.
High-Fiber Matcha Green Smoothie Bowl
EatingWell
Matcha powder and spinach give this smoothie bowl a beautiful green hue. If you don’t have spinach on hand, try swapping in another dark leafy green like kale.
Anti-Inflammatory Beet Smoothie
This vibrant beet smoothie combines sweet and earthy beets with berries, banana and orange juice for a well-balanced flavor. Look for packaged cooked beets where the prepared fruits and vegetables are sold. Beets are high in belatins, an antioxidant that may help decrease inflammation in the body. Other nutrient-packed ingredients add even more anti-inflammatory power, like the anthocyanins in blueberries and the gingerol found in ginger.
Cherry Smoothie
The combination of oat milk, vanilla extract and sweet cherries makes this smoothie taste like cherry pie. Adding a bit of brown sugar boosts that nostalgia even more.
Really Green Smoothie
The combination of kale and avocado makes this smoothie extra green. Chia seeds lend a heart-healthy punch of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
Strawberry Peach Smoothie
Cauliflower in a smoothie might sound like a deal breaker, but trust us, it’s worth it. Not only does it boost your veggie servings for the day, it also makes this peach smoothie even creamier.
Pumpkin Pie Smoothie
This smoothie has all the flavor of a pumpkin spice latte without all the sugar. Made with real pumpkin and frozen banana, this whips into a creamy, luscious grab-&-go breakfast (or snack) in just 5 minutes.
Strawberry-Chocolate Smoothie
This strawberry-chocolate smoothie is so creamy and delicious, you might want it as a dessert, too.
Spinach-Avocado Smoothie
This vibrant green smoothie gets super creamy from the frozen banana and avocado. Make ahead (up to 1 day) and store it in the fridge until you need a veggie boost.
Strawberry-Pineapple Smoothie
Blend almond milk, strawberry and pineapple for a smoothie that’s so easy you can make it on busy mornings. A bit of almond butter adds richness and filling protein. Freeze some of the almond milk for an extra-icy texture.
Watermelon-Strawberry Smoothie
Strawberry and watermelon combine in this easy, four-ingredient fruit smoothie.
Pineapple Green Smoothie

Use ripe bananas for this creamy Greek yogurt, spinach and pineapple smoothie. Chia seeds add healthy omega-3 fats, fiber and a little protein for an extra nutritional boost.
Mango Raspberry Smoothie
A squeeze of lemon juice adds bright flavor to this frozen fruit smoothie. Mango provides plenty of sweetness without having to add juice, but if it’s too tart for you, a touch of agave will do the trick.
