Here are three of our current favourite smoothie recipes:
1. Beet and Berry Smoothie
If you’re looking to start adding vegetables into your smoothies but aren’t ready to dive head first into green smoothie territory (hellooo, kale), then this smoothie is a great one to try. It’s heavy on the fruit so the flavour of the beet gets quietly nestled in between the sweetness of the berries and banana.
If you’re a kale-blending, celery-shredding, green-smoothie-drinking pro, then this is one to mix into your rotation when you’re craving something a little sweeter.
And who could resist this vibrant magenta hue? It’s a bit swoon-worthy, don’t you think?
2. Pinapple Mojito Green Smoothie
You could almost be forgiven for thinking this smoothie was the real alcoholic deal - seriously, it is THAT yum. (And if you feel like spiking it a little when the occasion calls for it, we promise we won't tell!)
Ingredients
1/2 cup coconut milk (I used carton) or other non-dairy milk
1/4 cup fresh mint
1 1/2 cups chopped pineapple (fresh or frozen)
1-2 cups baby spinach
1 lime, zest and juice
1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 cup ice
Optional: Top with chia seeds, shredded coconut, hemp seeds etc...
Instructions
1. Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender until well-combined.
2. Top with desired toppings.

3. Peanut Butter, Banana and Chia Smoothie
This peanut butter banana chia smoothie is thick and rich and a great way to start your day. It feels a little like drinking a milkshake for breakfast - and yet no nutritional guilt is involved!
