We’re always on the lookout for tasty and healthy new smoothie recipes. Smoothies are a fantastic and tasty way to up your fruit and veggie intake as long as you’re careful to avoid added sugar and stick to a 70/30 veggie to fruit ratio. According to a study by health economist and associate professor at Brigham Young University, Joseph Price, “Only 4% of kids eating a school breakfast ate a serving of fruit. When the school offered morning smoothies, that number jumped to 45%.”
Some store bought smoothies are loaded with sugar and calories so whipping up your own is the easiest way to be sure you’re really getting a healthy snack. We’ve found 10 new smoothie recipes that will make your day.
