Our Best Ideas for Smoothies
It’s tempting to think that making a smoothie is just throwing a bunch of ingredients into a blender. But, ask anyone who has ever had a chunky, icy or otherwise less-than-perfect sip and they’ll tell you there’s a real art to making a smoothie. Done right, smoothies boast a flavorful punch and an indulgent creaminess. Better yet, they can easily be health-ified—making them the perfect wholesome breakfast or lunch. You just need to know how to boost them with protein or other nourishing add-ins. That’s where these recipes come in. You’ll find a myriad of options, perfect for every diet and preference (plus a few that are just downright delicious and worthy of being a midday snack or dessert)—each one formulated to give you the perfect texture and flavor with just the push of a button. One of our favorites? You can never go wrong with a classic; strawberries and banana work together to give your drink just the right amount of sweetness and tang—and a rich, velvety consistency.
