6 Easy & Healthy Smoothie Recipes to Blend & Sip On the Go

Smoothies are hands down my favorite meal replacement. Whether for breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack, healthy smoothie recipes combine proteins, carbs, and good-for-you fats for a convenient and portable dose of nutrition. Smoothies make for great pre- and post-workout snacks and tend to be slightly more nutritious than green juices because they blend whole fruits and vegetables rather than juicing them, resulting in more fiber intake.

When consuming a smoothie as a meal replacement, nutritionists recommend including at least 25 g of protein (you can get away with 10 g if it’s just a snack), which will help keep you fuller for longer. If you find your stomach grumbling shortly after sipping on a smoothie, make your concoction more substantial by adding one of the following protein-packed ingredients to your blender:

• Protein powder

• Oats

• Chia, hemp, or flax seeds

• Greek yogurt

• A spoonful of your favorite nut butter

• Avocado

• Tofu

• Quinoa
